Glycosaminoglycans in Localized Scleroderma (Morphoea)
Connective Tissue Research, 1985The composition of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) was analyzed in skin samples of eight patients suffering from localized scleroderma, i.e., three having generalized morphoea and five localized morphoea plaques. From each patients, biopsies were obtained from sclerotic and perilesional areas, and from clinically uninvolved skin of the same region.

A case of linear and morphea scleroderma is reported. Histochemical studies revealed an increase of positive PAS material, diastase resistant, in the areas of homogenized collagen. Chemical analysis suggests an increase in hexoses and hexosamines, probably bound to the collagen fibers.

Borrelia burgdorferi and Localized Scleroderma
Archives of Dermatology, 1989To the Editor.— Aberer et al, 1 in Austria, have suggested that morphea might be related to Borrelia burgdorferi infection. These authors found antibodies to B burgdorferi in five of ten patients with morphea in one study and eight of 15 patients in another study, which used the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.

Localized scleroderma: Imaging features
Pediatric Radiology, 1994Localized scleroderma is distinct from the diffuse form of scleroderma and does not show Raynaud's phenomenon and visceral involvement. The imaging features in 23 patients ranging from 2 to 17 years of age (mean 11.1 years) were reviewed. Leg length discrepancy and muscle atrophy were the most common findings (five patients), with two patients also ...

New developments in localized scleroderma
Current Opinion in Rheumatology, 2008Localized scleroderma, also known as morphea, is the most frequent form of scleroderma in childhood. Early diagnosis, appropriate assessment and effective treatment may improve the long-term outcome.Recent studies, regarding the microchimerism theory or the mechanism of action of phototherapy, have yielded important information on the disease ...

Longitudinal melanonychia in localized scleroderma
Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, 2004Longitudinal melanonychia associated with scleroderma is rare. This is paradoxical, as increased skin pigmentation is frequent in the latter disease. This article reports 4 cases of longitudinal melanonychia that were found concurrently with various types of localized scleroderma.

Dermatologie (Heidelberg, Germany)
Localized scleroderma (LS), also called circumscribed scleroderma or morphea, comprises a heterogeneous group of diseases that can be classified into four subtypes: limited, linear, generalized, and mixed LS. All manifestations are primarily due to chronic progressive fibrosis of the skin or structures close to the skin.
