Title: Dermatomyositis and granulomatous myopathy associated with sarcoidosis. Author: Lipton JH, McLeod BD, Brownell AK. Journal: Can J Neurol Sci; 1988 Nov; 15(4):426-9. PubMed ID: 3208229. Abstract: A previously healthy, 21-year-old female presented with acute dermatomyositis.

The significance of bilateral hilar adenopathy in association with dermatomyositis and implications for management are discussed.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
