This article showed that anti‐MJ/NXP‐2 antibody‐positive adult‐onset dermatomyositis (DM) with lichen myxedematosus and endometrial carcinoma. This skin lesion subsided following resection of the comorbid malignancy and treatment with oral prednisolone. Thus, we postulate that localized lichen myxedematosus in this patient occurred in association with anti‐MJ/NXP‐2 antibody‐positive DM.
