The onset relationship between dermatomyositis (DM) and malignant tumor, especially nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), was approached. Approximately 90 cases of DM were admitted in the hospital. Among them 15 cases were complicated with malignant tumor of which 12 cases were complicated with NPC (account for 80% of DM with complicated carcinoma). In addition to treat these patients with prednisone and antibiotics, radiation therapy has been applied for NPC and metastasis in the neck. During the hospitalizations, one patient died, eleven patients' NPC was controlled, and the DM was completely resolved or improved. There is an obvious relationship between DM and carcinoma. DM may improve or even subside with good short term prognosis, as long as the carcinoma is controlled successfully.
探讨了皮肌炎（DM）与恶性肿瘤尤其是鼻咽癌（NPC）之间的发病关系。医院收治了约90例皮肌炎患者。其中15例合并恶性肿瘤，其中12例合并鼻咽癌（占合并癌症的皮肌炎患者的80%）。除了用泼尼松和抗生素治疗这些患者外，还对鼻咽癌及颈部转移灶进行了放射治疗。住院期间，1例患者死亡，11例患者的鼻咽癌得到控制，皮肌炎完全缓解或改善。皮肌炎与癌症之间存在明显关系。只要癌症得到成功控制，皮肌炎可能改善甚至消退，短期预后良好。
