Juvenile dermatomyositis is a rare autoimmune disease characterized by inflammation of the muscle skin and other organs. Although localized edema is a common feature of juvenile dermatomyositis generalized edema has been reported infrequently. We describe a patient with dermatomyositis and anasarca and present a brief review of the literature.
