Dermatomiosite amiopática é uma variante da dermatomiosite que é caracterizada pela erupção cutânea típica mas sem as anormalidades musculares. O estado amiopático é definido pela falta de fraqueza muscular e por meio de testes diagnósticos, incluindo enzimas musculares séricas, estudos de eletroneuromiografia e biópsias musculares, que geralmente são normais ou mostram apenas anormalidades mínimas. Apesar da falta de fraqueza, muitos pacientes se queixam de fadiga debilitante. A forma amiopática é mais comumente observada em adultos do que em crianças, embora casos juvenis sejam relatados. Algumas séries iniciais sugeriram ausência de associação com neoplasias subjacentes, mas relatos recentes indicam que elas podem ocorrer. | |||

Amyopathic dermatomyositis is a variant of dermatomyositis that is characterised by the typical skin rash but without the muscle abnormalities. The amyopathic state is defined by a lack of muscle weakness and through diagnostic tests, including serum muscle enzymes, electromyogram studies, and muscle biopsies, that are usually normal or show only minimal abnormalities. Despite the lack of weakness, many patients complain of debilitating fatigue. The amyopathic form is more commonly seen in adults than in children, although juvenile cases are reported. Some early series suggested no association with underlying malignancies, but recent reports indicate that malignancies occur. | |||
