Resumen
ESCOBAR TRUJILLO, Alejandro et al. Hypomyopathic dermatomyositis and universal calcinosis: A case report. Rev.Colomb.Reumatol. [online]. 2014, vol.21, n.2, pp.91-98. ISSN 0121-8123.
The case is presented of a 32 year-old woman with indurated, raised and painful plaques in the skin of 2 years onset. It began in the legs, but later with a generalized extension to other regions, with evidence of cutaneous lesions very suggestive of dermatomyositis. The skin biopsy reported as calcinosis; initially without clinical evidence of inflammatory muscle compromise. A Nuclear Magnetic Resonance study and muscle biopsy showed this compromise, leading to the diagnosis of hypomyopathic dermatomyositis and universal calcinosis, two pathologies with rare presentation in an adult patient.
