Dermatomyositis as a paraneoplastic consequence of gynecological malignancy has rarely been reported in literature and never been reported in Honolulu. This case report describes a local Honolulu resident who was diagnosed with endometrial adenocarcinoma upon presenting with acute dermatomyositis symptoms.
