摘要：

Skin involvement in dermatomyositis does not always parallel muscle disease and can be the most active or severe component of the disease, failing to respond to therapeutic interventions that are adequate for myositis and other systemic involvement. This case refers to a resistant paraneoplastic amyopathic dermatomyositis rash which readily resolved with intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG), practically in the form of monotherapy. This observation gains particular significance considering that IVIG is still regarded as a second-line therapeutic regimen in the treatment of dermatomyositis despite its prevalence in matters of safety.
