We present a case of dermatomyositis in a male patient positive for anti-TIF1 antibodies, subsequently diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma of the tonsil, a novel association not previously documented.

Pleural effusion as an initial presentation of malignancy poses significant diagnostic challenges, particularly when linked to gynecologic cancers. We discuss the case of a 53-year-old female who presented with progressive dyspnea and a massive right-sided pleural effusion. Cytological analysis of the pleural fluid revealed malignant cells and immunohistochemical staining confirmed high-grade serous carcinoma (HGSC) of ovarian origin.
