Paraneoplastic anti-TIF1-gamma-positive dermatomyositis as expression of cervical squamous cell carcinoma recurrence.

Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies are neuromuscular disorders characterised by muscle weakness and histologically inflammation within the muscle. Dermatomyositis and polymyositis are highly associated with a wide range of cancers, especially in antitranscriptional intermediary factor-1 (TIF1)-gamma-positive myositis. We present a case of paraneoplastic dermatomyositis in a patient with a medical history of a FIGO stage 1B1 cervical squamous cell carcinoma.
