Dermatomyositis and Hodgkin's disease. Case report and review of the literature. 1985

E Schwartz, and E Friedman, and S Engelberg, and A Tomer

The association between dermatomyositis and malignant tumors, especially carcinomas, is well documented. However, lymphoreticular malignancies have rarely been reported. A patient in whom Hodgkin's disease was diagnosed 5.5 years after the onset of dermatomyositis is described. The independent course of the two diseases is discussed and previously reported cases of lymphoma and dermatomyositis are reviewed.

D009132 Muscles Contractile tissue that produces movement in animals. Muscle Tissue,Muscle,Muscle Tissues,Tissue, Muscle,Tissues, Muscle
D009336 Necrosis The death of cells in an organ or tissue due to disease, injury or failure of the blood supply.
D003882 Dermatomyositis A subacute or chronic inflammatory disease of muscle and skin, marked by proximal muscle weakness and a characteristic skin rash. The illness occurs with approximately equal frequency in children and adults. The skin lesions usually take the form of a purplish rash (or less often an exfoliative dermatitis) involving the nose, cheeks, forehead, upper trunk, and arms. The disease is associated with a complement mediated intramuscular microangiopathy, leading to loss of capillaries, muscle ischemia, muscle-fiber necrosis, and perifascicular atrophy. The childhood form of this disease tends to evolve into a systemic vasculitis. Dermatomyositis may occur in association with malignant neoplasms.
