Abstract

Neurological paraneoplastic syndromes occur in less than 1% of solid tumours and are uncommon in lymphomas. They are related to tumours with high biological activity and cause functional impairment and disability. Dermatomyositis is associated with cancer, and requires the study of hidden neoplasms. Its diagnosis as a paraneoplastic syndrome is established with specific criteria. Functional prognosis depends on early diagnosis, cancer control, and regulation of the immune response. The case is presented of a 65 year-old woman with dermatomyositis during the course of a conventional variant of a primary cutaneous B marginal lymphoma.

Resumen

Los síndromes paraneoplásicos neurológicos se presentan en menos del 1% de los tumores sólidos y son infrecuentes en linfomas. Se asocian a tumores con alta actividad biológica y condicionan deterioro funcional y discapacidad. La dermatomiositis se asocia a cáncer, por tanto obliga al estudio de neoplasias ocultas; su diagnóstico como síndrome paraneoplásico se establece con criterios específicos. El pronóstico funcional depende del diagnóstico oportuno, control del cáncer y de la regulación de la respuesta inmunológica. Se presenta el caso de una mujer de 65 años con dermatomiositis en el curso de un linfoma B marginal variante convencional de primario cutáneo.
