1. TIF1-γ associated dermatomyositis

摘要

IntroductionThis is a case of a patient presenting at the age of 39 with dermatomyositis. Subsequent investigations revealed her to have a TIFI-γ antibody and a metastatic colon adenocarcinoma. She was initially steroid responsive and her malignancy simultaneously responded to chemotherapy. A relapse of her malignancy was preceded by a flare in her dermatomyositis which proved to be non-responsive to steroids and further chemotherapy.
