Sir, Dermatomyositis (DM) is an autoimmune connective tissue disorder involving the skin, muscles, and other organs. Many consider it to be a paraneoplastic manifestation of organ specific malignancy. Paraneoplastic dermatomyositis (PDM) is most commonly associated with lung carcinoma in men and ovarian and breast carcinoma in women.[1,2] The reported frequency of malignancy in literature varies from 7% to 60%.[1,2] The association between PDM and esophageal carcinoma is very rare.
