Amyopathic dermatomyositis and pulmonary fibrosis

'Amyotrophic dermatomyositis' (ADM) is used to describe a small subgroup of patients with the typical skin rash associated with dermatomyositis but without muscle involvement. Lung involvement in ADM is rare. We report on the management of a patient with,ADM associated with pulmonary fibrosis at presentation, and her response to corticosteroid treatment.
