Abstract
Dermatomyositis is a common autoimmune disorder characterized by both cutaneous and muscle involvement. The characteristic cutaneous features included photosensitivity and the presence of heliotrope erythema and Gottron's papules. A number of uncommon cutaneous manifestations had been reported. We reported a female patient who developed erythroderma after dermatomyositis was diagnosed ten years later.
