Abstract

Dermatomyositis (DM) is a kind of systemic autoimmune disease characterized by chronic inflammation leading to progressive weakness of proximal muscles and typical cutaneous lesions. DM has been known to be strongly associated with malignancies, such as ovarian, lung, and gastric cancers. Prostate cancer is rarely associated with DM and, to our knowledge, no case of prostate cancer has been reported in patients with DM combined with interstitial lung disease in Korea. Here, we report a case of DM with bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia that was simultaneously diagnosed as advanced prostate cancer by a thorough evaluation for hidden malignancy.

피부근염 환자에서 악성종양 동반율이 높다고 알려져 있으며, 일반적으로 고령, 피부괴사, 연하곤란, 간질성 폐질환 부재 등의 악성종양 예측인자가 있는 경우에 악성종양에 대한 철저한 스크리닝 검사를 실시하도록 권유되고 있다. 전립샘암이 피부근염에 동반된 경우는 매우 드물게 보고되어 있으며, 본 증례와 같이 간질성 폐질환의 일종인 폐쇄세기관지 기질화폐렴이 합병된 피부근염에 전립샘암이 동반된 경우는 국내에 보고된 바가 없다. 최근 국내 전립샘암의 유병률 및 발생률이 빠르게 증가하고 있으며 전립샘암이 다양한 신생물딸림증후군을 흔하게 동반하므로, 중년 이상의 남성 환자에서 피부근염이 진단된 경우에는 전립샘암의 동반 가능성을 확인해 보아야 할 것이다.
