Juvenile dermatomyositis associated to lymphoepithelioma, a nasopharyngeal carcinoma

Nasopharynx carcinomas (NPC) are rare tumors, corresponding to 2% of tumors of the head and neck and 0,25% of all tumors. They are closely related t...
متن کاملBullous dermatomyositis associated with nasopharyngeal carcinoma--a case report.
Cutaneous manifestations of dermatomyositis commonly include Gottron's papules, heliotrope rash, photosensitivity, poikiloderma and nailfold telangiectasia. Vesicles and bulla are rare.

Bullous dermatomyositis may also po...

متن کاملNasopharyngeal carcinoma
Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a tumor arising from the epithelial cells that cover the surface and line the nasopharynx. The annual incidence of NPC in the UK is 0.3 per million at age 0-14 years, and 1 to 2 per million at age 15-19 years. Incidence is higher in the Chinese and Tunisian populations. Although rare, NPC accounts for about one third of childhood nasopharyngeal neoplasms. Three...
متن کاملDermatomyositis revealing breast cancer: report of a case
Dermatomyositis (DM) is a rare connective corresponding to an inflammatory disease of skeletal muscles.

This approach includes in addition to the monitoring repor...
