Abstrakt:	A 73-year-old male presented with jaundice and severe muscle weakness. He was diagnosed with distal cholangiocarcinoma and paraneoplastic necrotizing autoimmune myopathy (NAM). Treatment of NAM consisted of dexamethasone pulse therapy, prednisone, and single-dose intravenous immunoglobulin. The distal cholangiocarcinoma was resected through a total laparoscopic pancreatoduodenectomy. After hospital discharge, muscle strength initially increased postoperatively; however, pneumonia resulted in the deterioration of his general condition and death 5 months after the diagnosis of paraneoplastic NAM.
