Overview
The classification for dermatomyositis is split up into its juvenile and adult forms.
Classification
Dermatomyositis may be a type of autoimmune connective tissue disease.[1] It is related to polymyositis and inclusion body myositis.
There is a form of this disorder that strikes children, known as juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM). For the most part Juvenile dermatomyositis is the same as the adult form, but the relationship with cancer is far lower, or non-existent.
