Dermatomyositis and polymyositis are the major idiopathic inflammatory myopathies in
adults. They are associated with an elevated risk of malignancy. However, renal tumours
have rarely been described in dermatomyositis patients. We report the case of a 27-year-old
Caucasian man with chromophobe renal cell cancer (ChRCC) and antinuclear matrix
protein (NXP-2)-associated dermatomyositis. To the best of our knowledge, there are no
previous reports of ChRCC presenting with dermatomyositis.
