Abstract :
Juvenile clinically amyopathic dermatomyositis (juvenile CADM) is
a rare rheumatologic disease in children defined as the presence of the
hallmark cutaneous features of dermatomyositis in absence of muscle
involvement. In this article, we report an Iranian 14.5-year-old girl
presented to Rheumatology Clinic of Mofid Children’s Hospital,
Tehran, Iran in Jan 2016 with cutaneous complaints diagnosed with
juvenile CADM. Finally, we provide a literature review of previous
studies on juvenile CADM.
