“…How the inflammatory myopathy patients should be assessed for possible cancers is still a matter of debate (23)(24)(25)(26). Surprisingly, the place of tumor markers assays for the search of occult malignancies in dermatomyositis and polymyositis has been poorly assessed (8,27).…”

“…14 Recommendations for screening affected patients for cancer have changed over the years, with increasing evidence of an association between dermatomyositis and malignancy and evolving improvements in diagnostic techniques. 16 Many authorities recommend that all adult patients with dermatomyositis be evaluated for cancer, including a complete physical examination, basic hematological tests, age-and sex-appropriate screening (eg, mammography, pap smear, and colonoscopy), and chest x-ray. 16 Some would add upper endoscopy; imaging of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis; gynecological examination; and serum CA-125 level to better evaluate for the most common malignancies (ie, ovarian, gastric, lung, and pancreatic carcinomas and non-Hodgkins lymphoma).…”

“…2 Na forma juvenil, há maior incidência de calcinose cutânea. 10,11 O diagnóstico é realizado através da história e exame físico, sendo corroborado pelas enzimas musculares, biópsia muscular, biópsia cutânea, eletroneuromiografia (ENMG), ultra-sonografia (USG) e ressonância nuclear magnética (RNM). 2,10 O interesse pela dermatomiosite vem aumentando na última década não apenas pelo maior conhecimento imunológico sobre a doença, mas também devido ao progresso das técnicas de imagem, que tanto auxiliam no diagnóstico.…”
