“…Hyperkeratotic skin eruptions are a rare manifestation of DM and only a few instances have been reported in the literature (12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18) (18). In Table 1, we summarize a literature review of patients with DM and cutaneous eruptions resembling PRP.…”

A pityriasis rubra pilaris-like eruption has been described in patients with dermatomyositis. We describe an 11-year-old girl with dermatomyositis who had additional clinical findings of pityriasis rubra pilaris. Over a year, she developed muscle weakness, increasing fatigue, and a markedly elevated creatinine kinase level in addition to her cutaneous eruption and was seen in our clinic for these complaints. A year earlier, when a generalized, scaly erythematous eruption had appeared, she had been diagnosed as pityriasis rubra pilaris clinically and histopathologically. Dermatologic examination found scaling erythematous plaques involving the trunk and upper and lower extremities. Islands of unaffected skin were intermingled with erythematous plaques that were characteristic of pityriasis rubra pilaris. A skin biopsy specimen showed the findings of dermatomyositis and that diagnosis was made. The laboratory findings, electromyographic pattern, and muscle biopsy were also consistent with dermatomyositis. Her presentation is interesting, as she had been diagnosed as pityriasis rubra pilaris both clinically and histopathologically 1 year earlier and, although the cutaneous lesions had not changed, a diagnosis of dermatomyositis was made a year later.

“…A rare subgroup of patients with CDM have follicular hyperkeratosis which may occur as a pityriasis rubra pilaris-like eruption (Wong type DM). [14][15][16] Panniculitis may be a characteristic component of CDM. 17 Localized lipoatrophy not clinically preceded by panniculitis, 18 vesicles, 19 dermatitis herpetiformis, 20 bullous pemphigoid, 21 flagellate erythema, 22 erythroderma, 23 and mucinosis 24 have also been described in patients with CDM.…”

“…The association of dermatomyositis and pityriasis rubra pilaris is uncommon, but it is now well-characterized with several cases described in the literature. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] Usually, these patients exhibit classical cutaneous lesions of dermatomyositis and stereotypical lesions of pityriasis rubra pilaris. The histopathological findings depend on the type of biopsied lesion, because lesions of dermatomyositis show interface dermatitis of vacuolar type, and pityriasis rubra pilaris lesions show psoriasiform epidermal hyperplasia with parakeratosis alternating both in horizontal and vertical arrangements.…”
