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.

Fasciolopsis buski is the largest intestinal fluke infecting human beings. This trematode is endemic in certain parts of the country. Migration poses the risk of spread of the worm to other parts of the country. We report fasciolopsis buski in a migrant from Bihar working in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu. Acute kidney injury following intestinal obstruction occurred in this case which was never described before.
