The association between dermatomyositis and malignancy of the pharynx is rare among whites but not uncommon among Far Eastern and north African populations. We report two cases of Caucasian Italian patients with dermatomyositis associated, respectively, with nasopharyngeal and tonsillar carcinomas. The relationship between dermatomyositis and malignancy is also discussed.

Abstract
The association between dermatomyositis and malignancy of the pharynx is rare among whites but not uncommon among Far Eastern and north African populations. We report two cases of Caucasian Italian patients with dermatomyositis associated, respectively, with nasopharyngeal and tonsillar carcinomas.
