Abstract

Amiopathic dermatomyositis belongs to the group of inflammatory myopathies. A few cases of this disease have been described associated with neoplasms. We describe the case of a patient with amiopathic dermatomyositis and a primary myoepithelial carcinoma of the salivary gland, whose diagnosis was done posterior to the clinical manifestations of the dermatomyositis.
