Amyopathic dermatomyositis (ADM) is a rare condition characterized by skin lesions suggestive of dermatomyositis (DM) without detectable muscle abnormalities after at least 2 years of follow-up. Pulmonary fibrosis is uncommon in patients with ADM. ⋯ ADM is a rare condition that may be an abortive form of DM with a favorable outcome and a lower risk of malignancy compared to classic DM. However, the development of pulmonary fibrosis may cloud the prognosis.
