Cyclosporine A as treatment of esophageal involvement in dermatomyositis.

Abstract
We report a case of a 70-year-old man with dermatomyositis complicated by esophageal involvement resistant to corticosteroid therapy. It had serious and potentially life-threatening implications, resulting in impossible oral feeding. This condition was successfully resolved by administration of cyclosporine A.
