Successful treatment of thymic carcinoma with dermatomyositis and interstitial pneumonia: A case report

Here, we report a rare case of thymic carcinoma (TC) associated with dermatomyositis (DM) and interstitial pneumonia (IP) in a 68‐year‐old man. The patient presented with the characteristic features of a skin rash with Gottron's papules and increased serum levels of muscle‐associated enzymes. C...

description Here, we report a rare case of thymic carcinoma (TC) associated with dermatomyositis (DM) and interstitial pneumonia (IP) in a 68‐year‐old man. The patient presented with the characteristic features of a skin rash with Gottron's papules and increased serum levels of muscle‐associated enzymes. Computed tomography (CT) showed the presence of an anterior mediastinal soft tissue mass with IP, which was diagnosed as TC by CT‐guided tumor biopsy. The patients DM and IP disappeared completely after radical resection of the tumor. After a 20‐month follow‐up period, the patient was in good clinical condition without disease recidivism.
