Abstract
Subcutaneous edema localized or generalized must not be confused with periorbital erythematous edema, classically observed in DM, nor with DM with mucinosis. Potential marker of gravity, it is often associated to important muscular weakness and dysphagia. In this case, an aggressive treatment associating corticosteroids, immunosuppressive therapy and intravenous immunoglobulin is necessary.
