摘要
Dermatomyositis (DM) and polymyositis (PM) are idiopathic inflammatory myopathies with unknown etiology. The incidence of both diseases is estimated at 4 to 10 cases per million people per year.1 Classical DM patients display characteristic cutaneous manifestations, proximal muscle weakness, and laboratorial evidence of myositis. Skin manifestations include the classic periorbital heliotrope,
