Abstract
|
|
|
|
Dermatomyositis, an idiopathic inflammatory myopathy with characteristic skin manifestations, is associated with several types of cancer. Only three cases of gallbladder cancer with dermatomyositis have been reported world-wide, and none has been reported in Korea. We present a case of a 71-year-old male with proven dermatomyositis associated with gallbladder cancer to emphasize the neces-sity of work-up for malignancies with low incidence in pa-tients with inflammatory myopathies.
