Skin and connective tissue diseases, scleroderma, localized sclerodermaAbstract
Scleroderma is a term derived from the Greek words skleros (hard or indurated) and derma (skin). Localized scleroderma, also known by the name of morphea, is a rare fibrosing disorder that affects the skin and adjacent tissues, and is limited almost exclusively to tissues derived from mesoderm. The pathogenesis is not fully elucidated, but it is known that results from an imbalance between the production and destruction of collagen. Although morphea is a localized skin disorder, patients with this disease can often have systemic symptoms such as malaise, fatigue, arthralgias and myalgias, as well as positive self-circulating antibodies. It differs mainly in systemic scleroderma (systemic sclerosis) by the absence of sclerodactyly, Raynaud’s phenomenon, nailfold capillary changes and condition of internal organs.
