Abstract EN

We describe two patients with dermatomyositis that presented with interstitial lung disease, positive V and Shawl sign who developed acute spontaneous abdominal/retroperitoneal bleed.

Both patients expired despite aggressive treatment and resuscitation.

Hemorrhagic myositis in these two patients with inflammatory myopathy is a very rare complication.

The association of anti-Ro52 with this potentially very serious complication remains unclear.

This potential relationship should be further evaluated in future studies.
