Introduction: Dermatomyositis (DM) is a group of autoimmune idiopathic inflammatory myopathies characterized by typical cutaneous signs and symptoms of muscle involvement. The diseases can be associated with cancer in the paraneoplastic syndrome, calcinosis, interstitial lung disease, other autoimmune connective tissue diseases (in overlap syndrome), and Raynaud's phenomenon.
Methods: Clinical and capillaroscopic data were gathered from 43 patients with DM.

Background: Peripheral T cell lymphoma (PTCL), not otherwise specified (NOS) is a heterogenous group of predominantly nodal T cell lymphomas that generally presents with lymphadenopathy with or without extra nodal involvement. Acral vascular syndrome clinically presents as digital ischemia with Raynaud's phenomenon and acral cyanosis. Although, this condition is commonly associated with connective tissue disorder, smoking and vasculitis, its association with lymphoid malignancy is very rare.

Background: Non-bacterial thrombotic endocarditis (NBTE) is a rare condition marked by sterile vegetations on cardiac valves, often linked to rheumatologic diseases, autoimmune disorders, and advanced solid malignancies. An early diagnosis and treatment of the associated clinical condition are mandatory, although they do not usually eliminate valvular vegetations, making anticoagulation essential to prevent embolic events. Despite variability, the prognosis of NBTE is usually unfavorable due to recurrent embolic events and the severity of the primary condition, typically advanced cancer.

The symptoms of a rheumatic disease may also be a sign of a proliferative process. These include conditions that present with skin and vascular changes such as systemic sclerosis and Raynaud's phenomenon with peripheral ischaemia and ulceration. Furthermore, the less common conditions - erythromelalgia or palmar fasciitis with polyarthritis may also accompany cancer.
