Abstract:
A case of gastric carcinoma associated with dermatomyositis is reported. Total gastrectomy was performed and subsequently excision of hepatic metastasis. Although the cause-effect relationship between dermatomyositis and internal malignancy remains controversial, the obvious dependence of the clinical course of dermatomyositis on that of the gastric carcinoma in this case suggests a causal involvement.
