Neurological paraneoplastic syndromes occur in less than 1% of solid tumours and are uncommon in lymphomas. They are related to tumours with high biological activity and cause functional impairment and disability. Dermatomyositis is associated with cancer, and requires the study of hidden neoplasms. Its diagnosis as a paraneoplastic syndrome is established with specific criteria. Functional prognosis depends on early diagnosis, cancer control, and regulation of the immune response. The case is presented of a 65 year-old woman with dermatomyositis during the course of a conventional variant of a primary cutaneous B marginal lymphoma.

Keywords : Dermatomyositis; Paraneoplastic syndromes; Lymphoma.
