Dermatomyositis

A type of idiopathic inflammatory myopathy characterized by evocative skin lesions and symmetrical proximal muscle weakness.

Erythroderma

An inflammatory exfoliative dermatosis involving nearly all of the surface of the skin. Erythroderma develops suddenly. A patchy erythema may generalize and spread to affect most of the skin. Scaling may appear in 2-6 days and be accompanied by hot, red, dry skin, malaise, and fever.

With the currently available literature it is not possible to conclude that erythroderma is a bad prognostic factor in dermatomyositis or a predictive factor for a malignancy.

Kim SW, Kang YS, Park SH, Lee UH, Park HS, Jang SJ.
Ann Dermatol. 2009;21(4):435-9.
The patient had a generalized, erythematous scaly eruption consistent with erythroderma and Gottron's papules as well as a heliotrope rash; these are the hallmark skin manifestations of dermatomyositis.

Erythrodermic juvenile dermatomyositis.
Chander R, Gupta T, Rani S, Nagia A.

Since erythroderma, though rare, is an early manifestation of dermatomyositis (adult onset), presence in a pediatric case should prompt early investigations and effective management by a multispeciality team.
