Her skin eruption of the face (heliotrope erythema) and hands (Gottron´s papules) and skin biopsy findings were typical of dermatomyositis. Levels of serum muscle enzymes were within normal ranges and electromyography showed no signs of muscle involvement. During a 1-year follow-up, she had no signs of muscle weakness. Based on these clinical and laboratory findings, our case can be diagnosed as amyopathic dermatomyositis.
