    Author: Kundu AK, Karmakar PS, Bera AB, Pal SK.
    Journal: J Assoc Physicians India; 2005 Mar; 53():219-22. PubMed ID: 15926608.
    Abstract:
    Dermatomyositis (DM), manifested as paraneoplastic syndrome, is not a very common clinical entity but its association with various internal malignancies is well-documented in literature. We present such a case of DM associated with characteristic skin lesions and subacute onset of proximal muscle weakness, acquired from a very rare malignancy like adenocarcinoma of gall bladder.
