RESUMEN
Dermatomyositis and its association with malignancy is well known. Though many tumors like breast, ovary, lung carcinomas are reported to be associated with it, cervical carcinoma is a very rare one. Tumors in these patients are usually unmasked by abnormal findings in the medical history and physical examination. Here we report case of a postmenopausal female who presented with subacute onset of weakness of all four limbs. Treatment of the underlying tumor relieved the symptoms of dermatomyositis in our patient.
