Clinical diversity of dermatomyositis - illustrated by three cases
By: M H B A de Silva and C N Gunasekera
Abstract
Although dermatomyositis (DM) is an uncommon connective tissue disease, we came across three patients with many of the clinical features of DM, within a short period. One of the patients had an underlying malignancy in addition. We report these three cases to highlight the clinical diversity of dermatomyositis, in order to prevent delay in diagnosis and treatment of these patients.
