Abstract

Dermatomyositis is an inflammatory myopathy associated with a variety of skin manifestations, has an association to malignancy, and usually presents with symmetric proximal muscle weakness. The manifestations vary dramatically between patients. Here, we present two challenging cases of amyopathic dermatomyositis and anti-synthetase syndrome.
