Polymyositis is uncommon in childhood. Unlike dermatomyositis, which is common in pediatric age group, skin involvement is lacking in polymyositis. We report an 8-year-old boy who presented with anasarca as the initial complaint. This presentation has been rarely reported before in the pediatric literature.
皮肌炎在儿童中并不常见。与常见于儿科年龄段的皮肌炎不同,多发性肌炎缺乏皮肤受累。我们报告了一例 8 岁男孩,以水肿为首发表现。这种表现以前在儿科文献中很少报道过。
