Abstract
Dermatomyositis (DM) is a connective tissue disorder characterized by cutaneous and muscle involvement. It is a well recognized paraneoplastic syndrome and has been linked with malignancy in 15-34% of adult patients. The course of DM in such patients usually correlates closely with the activity of the underlying malignancy. We report a patient who developed DM 4 years after excision of a malignant melanoma (MM) from the back and 1 year before the diagnosis of metastatic disease. A literature review revealed that the association of dermatomyositis with MM is rare and consistent with a dismal prognosis.
