Adult dermatomyositis with livedo reticularis and multiple skin ulcers.
Skin ulcers are commonly described in the juvenile form of dermatomyositis; however, in the adult form they are rarely described. We report on a patient with adult dermatomyositis, deep cutaneous ulcers in the skin folds and livedo reticularis eruption.
