The gastrointestinal complications of dermatomyositis are well known. Reviews, however, do not mention pneumatosis intestinalis in this disorder).1-3 Although noted in progressive systemic sclerosis,4-7 its association with dermatomyositis has been documented in only one case,5 unreported in the pediatric literature. It is important to distinguish this apparently benign condition from pneumoperitoneum secondary to intestinal perforation, which is a grave complication of dermatomyositis.1 CASE REPORT W. W., an 8-8/12-year-old girl with a three-year history of dermatomyositis with prominent skin rash, disseminated subcutaneous calcification, muscle wasting and induration, also complained of occasional abdominal pain, recently localized to the right hypochondriurn and right shoulder. Inspite of continuous prednisone treatment and intermittent trials of azathioprine, methotrexate, and cyclophosphamide the patient's disease failed to remit.

I read with interest the excellent article "Childhood Dermatomyositis and Polymyositis" (PIR 1984;6:163). Spiro stated: "Contrary to practices in older adults with dermatomyositis, evaluations for an underlying malignancy do not have to be performed in children with dermatomyositis or polymyositis; there is no relationship between these diseases and malignancies in children as there is in adults." Eckardt and colleagues reported (Cancer 1981;48:1256) a patient who had had a diagnosis of dermatomyositis at age 3 years, and who had intermuscular heterotopic calcification and ossification documented by a roentgenogram at age 8 years and by biopsy at age 16 years. At age 31 years, he developed a high-grade osteosarcoma in an area of heterotopic calcification and ossification which had been present since childhood.
