Abstract
|
|
|
|
Dermatomyositis and polymyositis are uncommon, acquired idiopathic inflammatory myopathies of an unknown etiology. Although there are 9 reported cases in the literature of developing dermatomyositis or polymyositis after collagen dermal injection, it is still controversial whether there is a link between injectable filler materials and autoimmune diseases, and specifically dermatomyositis/polymyositis. We experienced a case of a 40-year-old woman who developed dermatomyositis after repeated injections of multiple filler materials, including collagen for cosmetic purposes, which suggests a temporal relation between the two factors. The benefit-to- risk ratio should be assessed for repeated cosmetic surgical procedures that use filler materials.
