Although periorbital edema is a common manifestation of inflammatory myopathy, generalized subcutaneous edema is very rare. We report here a case of a 47-year-old female patient with acute polymyositis/systemic lupus erythematosus overl...

Patients with clinically amyopathic dermatomyositis (CADM) or those with anti-CADM140/MDA5 antibody are especially prone to develop rapidly progressive interstitial pn...
