This is a case of a 59‐year‐old woman who presented with a 2‐year history of heliotrope rash, Gottron’s papules, shawl sign, V‐neck sign, and muscle weakness. She was previously managed as a case of systemic lupus erythematosus and initially responded to unrecalled corticosteroids. She was admitted due to a 1‐month progressively enlarging sacral mass, which eventually turned out to be an abscess. While the abscess was being treated, her autoimmune condition was worked up, and she was then managed as a case of clinically amyopathic dermatomyositis (CADM) with interstitial lung disease (ILD). She received corticosteroids and underwent the first cycle of cyclophosphamide infusion prior to discharge.
