Popis: Juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM), which is rarely presented with erythroderma, and juvenile morphea are both autoimmune connective tissue diseases. We report a 14-year-old male child with resistant generalized erythroderma and mild proximal muscle weakness who was diagnosed with dermatomyositis. Later, the patient developed morphea. The diagnosis of overlap syndrome was made by fulfilling Bohan and Peter's criteria for JDM as well as clinical manifestations of morphea.
