摘要：

Dermatomyositis is an inflammatory myopathy with cutaneous compromise that has been linked to neoplastia. We introduce a 74 year old patient diagnosed with dermatomyositis who presented with dysphagia and significant weight loss, which lead to the search of a malignant association, with presence of an advanced neoplasic process requiring palliative management with no primary etiology. Due to the increased incidence of dermatomyositis in cancer patients compared to the general population, it is of vital importance to respond to the clinical signs described as predictors of the association between cancer and DM and not think of it as a primary pathology.
