Abstract:
Dermatomyositis (DM) is a rare progressive autoimmune disease characterized by inflammatory myopathy, which classically manifests as several characteristic cutaneous features, including Gottron's papules, periorbital heliotrope rashes, poikiloderma, and reticular telangiectasis. Vesicle or bulla formation in dermatomyositis was first reported in 1903, and a few similar cases have been reported since then. Bullous DM has been associated with internal malignancies. We herein describe a case of bullous DM with squamous cell carcinoma of the lung in a 69-year old man.
