[Dermatomyositis and malignant disease--case report].
The case of patients with dermatomyositis and malignant disease has been described. The diagnosis of malignant disease was made after death of the patient, when the malignant undifferentiated cells were found in the ascites. We think that dermatomyosistis was caused by malignant disease. The similar cases of disease were described and published in the literature.
