Scleroderma remains a connective disease characterized by thickening of the skin due to excessive collagen deposition. Is most common in woman. Scleroderma has been classificated into cutaneous and systemic forms and remains an unknown cause. We report 30-year-old womam with linear scleroderma with calcinosis. Linear scleroderma is a variant of localizated scleroderma, extremely rare, the usual clinical picture is of a single unilateral lesion affecting the limbs, particularly the lower extremity. The disease can involve underlying tissues (fascia, muscle, bone). Evaluation of muscle involvement is important to prevent contracture or functional abnormalities.Dystrophic calcinosis occurs in less than 10% of patients with scleroderma. Calcification usually begins to appear 10 years after the onset disease and may be seen in the skin, the subcutaneous tissue or deeper in tendons and muscles. |
