title: Dermatomyositis and bronchial squamous cell carcinoma: evidence for a true relationship.
abstract: The authors report a case of dermatomyositis (D.M) in a 57-year-old man, associated with a squamous cell bronchial carcinoma. The complete resolution of the dermatomyositis after radical resection of the bronchial tumor strongly suggested a paraneoplastic phenomenon.
