Abstract
Amyopathic dermatomyositis, also known as dermatomyositis sine myositis, describes patients with the typical cutaneous features of dermatomyositis but without evidence of inflammatory myopathy. There have been 3 reported cases of amyopathic dermatomyositis associated with breast cancer in patients with no prior malignancy. We describe the first case of paraneoplastic amyopathic dermatomyositis associated with breast cancer recurrence.
