Topical calcipotriene for morphea/linear scleroderma
Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, 1998Morphea and linear scleroderma are characterized by erythema, induration, telangiectasia, and dyspigmentation. There is no universally effective treatment. Oral calcitriol has been beneficial in the treatment of localized and extensive morphea/scleroderma, but the use of topical calcipotriene has not been reported.The purpose of this study was to ...

Progressive Hemifacial Atrophy with Linear Scleroderma
Pediatric Dermatology, 2005Abstract: We describe a 4‐year‐old girl with hemifacial atrophy. She had a linear white‐colored sclerotic plaque on the right submandibular area of skin. Histologic findings of the lesion were consistent with a diagnosis of scleroderma. The relationship between progressive facial hemiatrophy and linear scleroderma are discussed.

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 ...

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
