pubmed:abstractText
We report a case of dermatomyositis occurring in association with transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder. The case illustrates the importance of a thorough search for neoplasms in elderly patients with dermatomyositis and is a reminder that bladder cancer may be a rare cause of dermatomyositis. The case also shows that successful treatment of an underlying tumour may lead to resolution of paraneoplastic dermatomyositis, and relapse of cutaneous and muscle symptoms and signs may indicate recurrence of tumour.
