ABSTRACT
Dermatomyositis (DM) is an inflammatory myopathy of unknown etiology, which involves predominantly the muscles and skin, but also produces pulmonary manifestations in approximately 10% of the patients. Increasing attention has been paid to progressive interstitial pneumonitis as an important pulmonary manifestation of DM that can sometimes have a serious influence on the prognosis. Pneumomediastinum has been reported as a rare complication of DM. In this report, we present a case of 40-year-old woman with DM and interstitial lung disease who developed spontaneuous pneumomediastinum and was successfully treated with cyclosporin A.
