Summary: Dermatomyositis is a rare systemic autoimmune disease, which usually presents with muscular weakness and typical rash. With adequate treatment 90% of the patients are alive 5 years after the diagnosis. However, in one group of these patients, dermatomyositis is part of a paraneoplasic syndrome and, in this one, the treatment response decreases and the prognosis is worse. The authors present clinical cases of two 68 year old men, with muscular weakness, dysphagia and typical rash, but with different treatment response and clinical results which mirrored the influence of an associated neoplastic disease on the course of dermatomyositis.

Com os meios de tratamento actualmente disponíveis, a taxa de sobrevivência aos 5 anos é superior a 90%. Existe um grupo de doentes, no entanto, em que a dermatomiosite surge como síndrome paraneoplásica e, nestes, a resposta à terapêutica fica comprometida e o prognóstico mais reservado.Os autores apresentam os casos clínicos de dois doentes do sexo masculino de 68 anos de idade, com fraqueza muscular, disfagia e exantema cutâneo típico, mas com resposta ao tratamento e evolução clínica diferente e que espelham a influência que uma neoplasia subjacente pode ter na evolução da dermatomiosite.Sociedade Portuguesa de Medicina Interna2009-06-30info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://revista.spmi.pt/index.php/rpmi/article/view/1404Internal Medicine; Vol. 16 No. 2 (2009): Abril/ Junho; 117-123Medicina Interna; Vol. 16 N.º 2 (2009): Abril/ Junho; 117-1232183-99800872-671Xreponame:Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP)instname:FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiainstacron:RCAAPporhttps://revista.spmi.pt/index.php/rpmi/article/view/1404https://revista.spmi.pt/index.php/rpmi/article/view/1404/958Cardoso, Ana RitaGonçalves, Cristinainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2022-12-31T06:11:45Zoai:oai.revista.spmi.pt:article/1404Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireinfo@rcaap.ptopendoar:https://opendoar.ac.uk/repository/71602025-05-28T10:45:33.315764Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP) - FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiafalse
