Abstract

Objective: There is a well-known association between malignancy and dermatomyositis but reports of an association between malignancies of the thyroid gland and dermatomyositis are very few. Here we describe a recent case of dermatomyositis found to have thyroid cancer during screening and review the clinical features of the similar cases in literature.
