Localized and systemic scleroderma
Seminars in Cutaneous Medicine and Surgery, 2001Scleroderma is a broad term encompassing both localized and systemic sclerosis. Localized scleroderma is a cutaneous limited fibrosis that manifests as plaque morphea, generalized morphea, linear scleroderma, and deep morphea. Systemic scleroderma (sclerosis) can manifest as either limited or diffuse disease.

HLA in Systemic Scleroderma (PSS) and Familial Scleroderma
The Journal of Dermatology, 1991AbstractHLA in systemic scleroderma (PSS), including three familial cases, is reported. Three families in which one sister developed PSS and another sister suffered from either PSS (family 1), mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD) (family 2), or Sjögren's syndrome (SjS) (family 3) were described.

Current Rheumatology Reports, 2001
Systemic scleroderma in children is very rare and is considered similar to adult-onset disease. In adults, new etiopathogenetic and therapeutic approaches have emerged in recent years. For instance, it has been shown that microchimerism could play a role in disease pathogenesis and that immunoablation followed by stem cell rescue could be of potential ...

Systemic scleroderma is a generalized disease of connective tissue involving mainly the skin, the gastrointestinal tract, the lungs, the heart, and the kidneys. It can be present in different forms, of which acroscleroderma, with limited cutaneous and extracutaneous involvement, and diffuse scleroderma within a more rapid progression are most ...

Systemic scleroderma: a spatiotemporal clustering
Internal Medicine Journal, 2005AbstractBackground and aims: The aetiology of systemic scleroderma remains poorly understood. Twin studies suggest a low genetic input. Of the incriminated environmental agents, silica and vinyl chloride monomer exposure appear the most convincing. Spatiotemporal clustering has been demonstrated only three times previously.

Progressive Systemic Sclerosis (Scleroderma)
New England Journal of Medicine, 1953THE skin manifestations of scleroderma have long been recognized and adequately described. These features are usually identified readily, particularly in the later phases of the disease when the spectacular, hardened, bound-down, wrinkleless appearance of the skin is so characteristic as to supply a descriptive name for the illness. This term refers to

Scleroderma-Inducing Glycosaminoglycan in the Urine of Patients with Systemic Scleroderma
Dermatology, 1978A glycosaminoglycan with scleroderma-inducing effect was isolated and partially purified from the urine of patients with systemic scleroderma. The glycosaminoglycan was an N-sulfated glycosaminoglycuronan and its high total sulfate and 2,5-anhydromannose contents suggest that the glycosaminoglycan is a degradation product of heparin or polysulfated ...

Systemic Sclerosis, Scleroderma
2006Abstract The scleroderma spectrum of disorders includes several diseases that have Raynaud’s phenomenon or skin sclerosis in common, comprising (1) localized cutaneous scleroderma; (2) systemic sclerosis (SSc)—the most important form of scleroderma—limited cutaneous SSc, diffuse cutaneous SSc, and overlap syndromes (with features of ...
