AN UNUSUAL MANIFESTATION OF LOCALIZED SCLERODERMA – A CASE REPORT

Sobimeena Rm, Padam Kumar M, Divya G, Jayakar Thomas

Abstract :

Scleroderma presenting as localized sclerosis of skin is popularly known as morphoea. Cutaneous manifestations of which may vary clinically. Linear localized scleroderma is less commonly reported and the nodular variant of a linear localized scleroderma is even rarer. In nodular scleroderma, patients develop lesions that are clinically indistinguishable from a keloid; however, the histopathological findings are more variable. Here in we describe a 17–year–old male with a linear raised plaque on the central forehead of 6 years duration. The histological examination revealed findings suggestive of a hypertrophic scar beside localized scleroderma.
