Abstract
The classic features of childhood dermatomyositis include muscle weakness, elevated muscle enzymes, and characteristic abnormal muscle biopsy and electromyography. Paramount to the diagnosis are cutaneous dermatoses that include a heliotrope rash and Gottron's papules. Rarely, a photo-sensitive dermatosis may occur. A recurrent photoexacerbated dermatoses can be an initial sign of occult childhood dermatomyositis.
