Abstract

Dermatomyositis (DM) is an inflammatory disease of the muscles and skin. Severe gastrointestinal (GI) involvement, characterized by GI bleeding and perforation secondary to underlying vasculopathy, is rarely seen. We describe a case of newly diagnosed DM in a 75-year-old woman who presented with a rash and muscle weakness. She then had sudden onset of hematemesis and was found to have duodenal ulcers due to leukocytoclastic vasculitis from her DM. Our aim was to highlight the need for recognition of GI involvement in adults with DM.

以吐血为表现的皮肌炎成人患者的胃肠道血管炎

皮肌炎（DM）是一种肌肉和皮肤炎症性疾病。严重的胃肠道（GI）受累很少见，其特点是继发于潜在血管病变的胃肠道出血和穿孔。我们描述了一例新确诊的 DM 病例，患者是一名 75 岁的女性，出现皮疹和肌无力。随后，她突然出现吐血症状，并被发现患有十二指肠溃疡，这是由于糖尿病引起的白细胞凝集性血管炎所致。我们的目的是强调识别成人糖尿病消化道受累的必要性。
