Cutaneous manifestations of dermatomyositis.
Abstract
Dermatomyositis is an inflammatory myopathy whose distinctive finding is skin involvement. In most cases the cutaneous involvement precedes the muscular condition, so it is vitally important for the dermatologist recognition of cutaneous manifestations in dermatomyositis in order to make a timely diagnosis of disease and initiate an effective treatment for avoid future complications.
