ABSTRACT

La dermatomiositis (DM) es una miopatía inflamatoria de causa desconocida caracterizada por inflamación muscular, debilidad músculo-esquelética proximal y manifestaciones cutáneas típicas. Se ha asociado a malignidades como un síndrome paraneoplásico. Reportamos el caso de un paciente varón de 33 años, diagnosticado de hepatitis B, VHB crónico inactivo, que presentó lesiones papulares, pruriginosas y descamativas en cara, manos, zona inguinal y pies. Al examen físico se evidenció pápulas de Gottron, signo del heliotropo, debilidad muscular simétrica proximal. Se realizó una biopsia de piel donde se encontraron hallazgos compatibles con DM. Tras una ecografía abdominal se encontró una tumoración hepática, cuyo resultado en biopsia fue de carcinoma hepatocelular moderadamente diferenciado. Posteriormente se le realiza segmentectomía con lo cual síntomas de DM disminuyen. Es un caso infrecuente, y de sumo interés por lo que se decide reportar.


Dermatomyositis is an idiopathic inflammatory myopathie characterized by proximal skeletal muscle weakness, typical skin manifestations and muscle inflammation. This disease has been associated with malignancies as a paraneoplastic syndrome. We present a patient of thirty-three years diagnosed with hepatitis B, chronic inactive HBV who presents papular, pruritic and desquamative lesions on the face, hands, inguinal area and feet. At the physical examination is evidentiated Gottron's papules, heliotrope sign and proximal symmetric muscular weakness. Findings compatible with DM were found in a skin biopsy. An abdominal ultrasound revealed a liver tumor whereby a biopsy was performed and the result was a moderately differentiated hepatocellular carcinoma. Subsequently, a segmentectomy has been made and consequently the DM symptoms decreased. This case is of great interest and rare reason why we decided to reported it.
