  • Title: Bullous dermatomyositis associated with nasopharyngeal carcinoma--a case report.
    Author: Ang P, Sugeng MW, Chua SH.
    Journal: Ann Acad Med Singap; 1999 Nov; 28(6):855-7. PubMed ID: 10672402.
    Abstract:
    Cutaneous manifestations of dermatomyositis commonly include Gottron's papules, heliotrope rash, photosensitivity, poikiloderma and nailfold telangiectasia. Vesicles and bulla are rare. We report a patient with dermatomyositis who presented with blisters and oral ulcers. It is important to recognise this bullous variant in order to avoid a delay in diagnosis. Bullous dermatomyositis may also portend a poorer prognosis. Our patient was subsequently diagnosed to have undifferentiated nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
