Early-stage testicular cancer: a rare association with dermatomyositis
Abstract
Dermatomyositis has a known association with malignancy. We report a case of dermatomyositis occurring in early-stage testicular cancer where the patient was in remission. It stresses the importance of considering testicular cancer as an association with dermatomyositis, as it is a potentially curable malignancy.
