Dermatomyositis, Malignancy, Colorrectal cancer, Paraneoplastic syndromeAbstract
Patients with dermatomyositis are more likely to have an underlying malignancy, although the exact cause of this association is unknown. There are multiple possible anatomical sites, including ovaries, breasts, stomach, colorectum, blood, lungs, and prostate.
We present the case of a 58-year-old woman who during abnormal weight loss study showed severe muscle weakness and skin alterations, associated with finding of adenocarcinoma of the transverse colon.
