Abstract

Despite having a classic presentation of dermatomyositis, a patient with ovarian cancer demonstrated several uncommon features: (i) unexpected onset of dermatomyositis in spite of cancer remission, (ii) development of Evans’ syndrome and subcutaneous oedema, and (iii) dysphagia. We discuss the occurrence of these conditions as well as their treatment.
