Abstract
Dermatomyositis (DM) is an inflammatory disorder of unknown etiology characterized by muscle weakness and a variety of cutaneous lesions. This disease can be seen as a paraneoplastic syndrome with the incidence of %6-60. We presented a 44-year-old woman who has admitted to the hospital with DM symtoms which haven't regress during the treatment and has had a breast mass which was ruled out to be a breast cancer during the treatment. After neoadjuvan chemotherapy (KT) and modified radical mastectomy (MRM) DM symptoms were disappeared and no further treatment was needed. DM should be kept in mind for having high coincidence with malignancies. Those patients should be searched for a possible malign disorder.
Özet
Dermatomiyosit (DM) kas güçsüzlüğü ve deri bulguları ile giden sebebi bilinmeyen inflamatuvar bir hastalık olup, %6-60 oranında paraneoplastik sendrom olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. DM bulguları ile başvuran 44 yaşındaki bayan hastaya uygulanan tedaviye rağmen şikayetlerinin gerilememesi ve sağ memede kitle saptanması üzerine yapılan biopsi sonucu meme karsinomu geldi. Neoadjuvan kemoterapi (KT) ardından modifiye radikal mastektomi (MRM) uygulanan hastanın, DM bulguları neoadjuvan KT ve cerrahi sonrası tamamen ortadan kayboldu. DM'in paraneoplastik sendrom olarak ortaya çıkabileceği unutulmamalı ve DM tanısı alan hastalar olası bir malignite yönünden dikkatle irdelenmelidirler.
