Systemic sclerosis affects the connective tissue of various organs. It is characterized by alteration of the microvasculature with a dense inflammatory cellular infiltrate, followed by massive deposition of collagen. This review discusses diagnostic criteria, clinical subsets, survival data, clinical evaluation, epidemiology, pathogenesis ...

Systemic sclerosis (SSc) presents with a great deal of variability from patient to patient and classification and subset criteria will be analysed and discussed. SSc has been reported in people from all over the world. The prevalence and incidence, however, varies from country to country and within the same country in different ethnic groups.

Monckeberg’s sclerosis in a patient with systemic sclerosis
Rheumatology International, 2009Monckeberg’s sclerosis (MS) is one of the non-inflammatory vascular diseases characterized by calcification of the media of small and medium-sized muscular arteries, but is distinct from atherosclerosis. We present a case of MS that was incidentally detected by plain X-ray in a patient with systemic sclerosis.
