Just after the surgery, skin eruption and muscle weakness emerged. Based on his symptoms and examination findings, we diagnosed him with anti-synthetase syndrome (ASS) with positive anti-glycyl-transfer ribonucleic acid synthetase antibody (anti-EJ) as paraneoplastic syndrome. Immunosuppressive treatments kept his progressing ILD stable for 21 months, although an expanding lung metastatic lesion from primary sarcoma was detected. Measurements of myositis-specific antibodies may enable the prediction of the efficacy of immunosuppressive treatments for paraneoplastic syndrome, even if the primary disease becomes progressive., Internal Medicine, 59(16), pp.2071-2076; 2020}, pages = {2071--2076}, title = {Anti-EJ Antibody-positive Anti-synthetase Syndrome Associated with Retroperitoneal Sarcoma}, volume = {59}, year = {2020} }
