Abstract
Spontaneous pneumomediastinum is a rare complication in anti–melanoma differentiation associated gene 5 (MDA 5) dermatomyositis (DM). In this case, it occurred relatively early in the course of this patient's illness before established interstitial lung disease was present; hence, it should be investigated in any anti-MDA 5 DM patient with dyspnea or chest pain.
