[Dermatomyositis as a paraneoplastic syndrome. A case report].
A female patient with dermatomyositis with the typical clinical findings of this disease, corresponding histological muscular changes and neurological findings is described. Since in the further course of the disease, recurrent gastric carcinoma was diagnosed, this case again emphasizes the significance of dermatomyositis as a paraneoplastic syndrome, and the need for tumor screening when dermatomyositis is diagnosed in advanced adulthood.
