    Journal: Rheumatol Int; 2012 Aug; 32(8):2589-90. PubMed ID: 21805348.
    Abstract:
    Polymyositis is uncommon in childhood. Unlike dermatomyositis, which is common in pediatric age group, skin involvement is lacking in polymyositis. We report an 8-year-old boy who presented with anasarca as the initial complaint. This presentation has been rarely reported before in the pediatric literature.
