We describe the first case of pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis in dermatomyositis (DM) of an adult. Our patient had been in remission of her DM for years when pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis occurred. Discovery of it was concomitant with that of interstitial lung disease. The overall course of pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis was benign. We discuss the mechanism of bowel and lung involvement and hypothesize that vasculitis could be the underlying process.
我们描述了首例成人皮肌炎(DM)合并小肠气囊样积气症的病例。我们的患者在小肠气囊样积气症发生时,其皮肌炎已缓解多年。该病症的发现与间质性肺病的发现同时出现。小肠气囊样积气症的总体病程是良性的。我们讨论了肠道和肺部受累的机制,并推测血管炎可能是潜在病因。
