BackgroundDermatomyositis (DM) is a rare syndrome that belongs to the group of idiopathic inflammatory myopathies. The association between DM and malignancy is well recognized, and the severity of DM symptoms has been linked to the progression of metastatic disease.Case presentationWe report the case of a 42-year-old man that was diagnosed with dermatomyositis (DM) and rectal cancer. Proctectomy was performed, and DM symptoms were resolved postoperatively. One year and 9 months after the surgery, liver metastasis occurred accompanied by the exacerbation of DM symptom. Partial resection of the liver was performed, and postoperative course was uneventful. DM symptoms improved postoperatively, and no evidence of cancer recurrence or DM symptoms was observed 2 years after the second surgery. To date, few reports have described recurring cases of DM accompanied by colorectal cancer in detail. We reviewed four similar cases that were reported poor prognoses with treatment resistance. However, our case report demonstrates good long-term results with resection of metastatic lesion.ConclusionsIt is important to check the exacerbation of DM symptoms, as this symptom sometimes preceded cancer relapse during the follow-up of our patient with DM and colorectal cancer.

Sum maryDermatomyositis (DM) is a connective tissue disease characterized by specific inflammatory lesions in muscle biopsy. An increased risk of underlying malignancy has been found in patients with DM. The common cancers associated with DM include ovarian cancer, lung cancer, pancreatic cancer, melanoma, colon cancer, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, stomach cancer and breast cancer. The association between DM and breast cancer has not been fully evaluated. We present the case of a 58-year-old female patient with DM diagnosed to be suffering from breast cancer. A literature review revealed that the association of dermatomyositis with breast cancer is rare and consistent with poor prognosis. Turk J Phys Med Re hab 2012;58:246-8. Key Words: Dermatomyositis; breast cancer Özet Dermatomiyozit (DM) kas biopsisinde spesifik inflamatuar lezyonlarla karakterize bir kollajen doku hastalığıdır. Dermatomiyozitli hastalarda altta yatan artmış bir malignensi riski bulunmaktadır. DM ile ilişkili yaygın kanserler over, akciğer, pankreas maligniteleri, melanoma, kolon kanseri, non-Hodgkin lenfoma, mide ve meme kanserleridir. Meme kanseri ve DM arasındaki ilişki yeterince değerlendirilmemiştir. Biz 58 yaşında DM ve meme kanseri olan bir olguyu sunmayı amaçladık. Literatürün gözden geçirilmesi DM ve meme kanseri ilişkisinin nadir olduğunu ve kötü prognoz sergilediğini göstermektedir. Türk Fiz T›p Re hab Derg 2012;58:246-8.
