Abstract
The association of inflammatory myopathies such as dermatomyositis and polymyositis with malignancies has been well described in literature. The present case report discusses a rare presentation of polymyositis as a paraneoplastic manifestation of an unknown malignancy in an elderly patient. The study underscores the need to conduct careful clinical investigation for the prompt diagnosis and treatment of a paraneoplastic syndrome, thereby to reduce the associated morbidities and mortality.
