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.

Rhinofacial entomophthoromycosis is an uncommon chronic fungal infection of the head and neck. The diagnosis is usually based on clinical manifestations; however, diagnosis of this infection based on early manifestations is difficult and occasionally rhinofacial entomophthoromycosis is mistaken for other diseases. Therefore, computed tomography is introduced to support the diagnosis. Radiologic findings were nonspecific with swelling of the sinonasal mucosa and perinasal region. However, subcutaneous calcification, that was observed in all our cases, may be a supportive radiologic evidence for diagnosis. The diagnosis should be confirmed definitively using histopathology or fungal culture. Early diagnosis allows prompt and appropriate treatment that will achieve excellent outcomes. We suggest that subcutaneous calcification radiologic finding may guide the aware physician to an early diagnosis of rhinofacial entomophthoromycosis.
