Abstract
|
|
|
Dermatomyositis is an idiopathic inflammatory disorder of the skin and the muscles. It is often associated
with malignancy but causal relationship is uncertain. The commonly associated tumors are ovarian, lung, prostate,
nasopharyngeal, and gastrointestinal cancers. The association with thyroid papillary carcinoma is rarely
reported. We report a case of dermatomyositis associated with thyroid papillary carcinoma which was effectively
treated with the resection of the primary malignancy.
