- Abstract
Dermatomyositis is an inflammatory myopathy with an incidence of 0.5-1 case per 100,000 inhabitants. It is characterized by hallmark cutaneus findings and muscle weakness, although we can occasionally find amyopathic forms. The association with malignancy has been widely described in the literature, as tumors have been detected in up to a third of the cases. The presence of the anti-TIF-1-gamma antibody presents higher rates of neoplasia compared to other forms without this antibody, so it is mandatory to do a tumor screening. Next, we present 2 cases of TIF-1-gamma antibody-associated dermatomyositis associated with malignancy.
