Antihistone antibodies in linear scleroderma variants
International Journal of Dermatology, 2006Background Linear scleroderma occurs as two clinically distinct variants: the frontoparietal en coup de sabre type, and the torso‐extremity type. Antihistone antibodies (AHAs), which traditionally are markers for drug‐induced lupus, may also be linked to linear scleroderma.Methods Retrospective review of all patients presenting with linear ...

Diagnosis and management of linear scleroderma in children
Current Opinion in Pediatrics, 2019Purpose of review Linear scleroderma is the most common subtype of localized scleroderma (LoS) in children. It can be associated with extracutaneous manifestations and long-term sequelae. Thus, appropriate diagnosis and management are key to improve the prognosis.

Archives of Dermatology and Syphilology, 1948
THE CAUSE of linear scleroderma is obscure. Several authors have been impressed by the fact that many lesions in this disease have a segmental distribution or follow the course of peripheral nerves. Therefore, they have assumed that linear scleroderma originates in the nervous system.

Localized forms of scleroderma, including morphea, linear scleroderma, and eosinophilic fasciitis
Current Opinion in Rheumatology, 1996Under the term localized scleroderma a spectrum of conditions is classified, ranging from localized plaques of morphea of cosmetic importance only, to deep lesions of linear scleroderma and eosinophilic fasciitis, which can result in considerable morbidity. The etiology is unknown; environmental, infectious, and autoimmune causes have been proposed. In

Physiatrics for Deforming Linear Scleroderma
Archives of Dermatology, 1976• When linear scleroderma traverses several joints, severe and mutilating deformities and contractures, with loss of limb function, can result. Drugs and surgical procedures are usually of little benefit in ameliorating the deformities. Physiatrics, on the other hand, is a readily available modality that can restore much useful function and reverse the

Immunologic Abnormalities in Linear Scleroderma
Archives of Dermatology, 1986To the Editor.— In the November 1985 issue of theArchives, Woo et al 1 reported the results of their serologic study in linear scleroderma. Previously, Falanga et al 2 reported high titers of antibodies to single-stranded DNA in this disease. We have had a related case in our department, with some findings that we consider important to communicate ...

Linear Melorheostotic Scleroderma With Hypertrichosis
Archives of Dermatology, 1979On the basis of clinical features and histological findings, cutaneous manifestations of linear melorheostotic scleroderma are apparently derived from a localized proliferative disorder and are not secondary to bone changes. If the hypertrichosis has the same origin as the osteocutaneous changes, melorheostosis may represent a congenital disorder with ...
