Abstract
- Dermatomyositis is a distinctive entity that is identified by a characteristic rash that accompanies or more often precedes proximal muscle weakness. There is a well recognized association between dermatomyositis and several cancers, such as ovarian cancer, lung cancer, pancreas cancer, stomach cancer and colorectal cancers and non-Hodgkin Lymphoma. But dermatomyositis associated with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma has not yet been reported in Korea. We experienced a case of dermatomyositis associated with infiltrative intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma and we report on this unusual case along with reviewing the related literature.
