Background and Aim: Dermatomyositis in a rare inflammatory disease with incidence rates between 0.5 and 0.99 per 100.000. Its relationship with some cancers such as breast, lung and ovary is well established. It can be the first or one of the presenting features of ovarian cancer. Dermatomyositis is a rare paraneoplastic syndrome which has a very rare association with ovarian cancer. Here we report association of dermatomyositis as a paraneoplastic syndrome with ovarian cancer.
Material and methods: A 40 year old woman referred with scattered rash and pruritus espcially in extensor surfaces, myalgia and weakness from 40 days prior to referral. Bilateral ovarian cancer was diagnosed during follow up period.
Conclusion: We should consider the likelihood of underlying malignancies in the patients with dermatomyositis. Because, in case of malignancy different therapeutic measures should be considered.
Keywords: Dermatomyositis, Ovarian cancer, Paraneoplastic syndrome.
