Abstract
FERNANDEZ, Isabel de la Cámara and MONTMETERME, Alexia de Juanes. Inflammatory myopathy associated with a thymoma: A case report. Rev.Colomb.Reumatol. [online]. 2017, vol.24, n.3, pp.193-195. ISSN 0121-8123. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rcreu.2017.02.008.

The case is reported of a rare combination of dermatomyositis and thymoma in a patient with no risk factors of paraneoplastic myopathy. The patient progressed slowly despite resection of the mediastinal mass.
