Dermatomyositis and nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
A nasopharyngeal carcinoma was diagnosed in a 37-year-old man with a two year history of dermatomyositis. The physical and laboratory examinations excluded further medical problems. To our knowledge, this is the first case of dermatomyositis associated with nasopharyngeal carcinoma in a white Israeli Jewish patient.
