Dermatomyositis associated with lymphoproliferative disorder of NK cells and occult small cell lung carcinoma.
Antonioli CM, Airo P.
Clin Rheumatol. 2004;23(3):239-41.
We report a case of dermatomyositis that was associated with a marked expansion of circulating NK cells (CD3-CD16+) with homogeneous phenotype (CD56- CD94- CD159a- CD244+) which satisfied the updated diagnostic criteria for the lymphoproliferative disorder of granular lymphocytes/NK cells.

Cutaneous lymphoma associated with Epstein-Barr virus infection in 2 patients treated with methotrexate.
Tournadre A, D'Incan M, Dubost JJ, Franck F, Dechelotte P, Souteyrand P, Soubrier M.
Mayo Clin Proc. 2001;76(8):845-8.
Discontinuation of methotrexate is necessary in patients with RA or dermatomyositis who have a lymphoproliferative disorder, and a follow-up period of several weeks should be observed before specific therapy is initiated.
