Popis:	Dermatomyositis is a rare autoimmune myopathy with distinctive cutaneous changes. It has been associated with a wide range of malignancies like carcinoma ovary, lung, breast, gastrointestinal tract and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. The malignancy can be concurrent or can occur before or after the onset of myositis. We report a case of dermatomyositis in a 63-year-old Indian male with nasopharyngeal carcinoma. The characteristic cutaneous features and muscle weakness developed concomitantly with the onset of nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
