Abstract

We report a case of dermatomyositis occurring in association with transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder. The case illustrates the importance of a thorough search for neoplasms in elderly patients with dermatomyositis and is a reminder that bladder cancer may be a rare cause of dermatomyositis. The case also shows that successful treatment of an underlying tumour may lead to resolution of paraneoplastic dermatomyositis, and relapse of cutaneous and muscle symptoms and signs may indicate recurrence of tumour.

摘要

我们报告了一例皮肌炎合并膀胱移行细胞癌的病例。该病例说明了对老年皮肌炎患者进行全面肿瘤筛查的重要性，同时也提醒我们膀胱癌可能是皮肌炎的罕见病因。该病例还表明，成功治疗潜在肿瘤可能导致副肿瘤性皮肌炎消退，而皮肤和肌肉症状及体征的复发可能提示肿瘤复发。
