Impressive Subcutaneous Calcifications in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus.
Dystrophic calcinosis cutis was commonly described in long-term dermatomyositis or systemic sclerosis, being rarely reported in other connective tissue diseases. We report the case of a 65-years old woman with an only 5-years history of systemic lupus erythematosus, who presents with multiple, impressive subcutaneous calcified masses and biological normal serum calcium and phosphate levels.
متن کاملHilar adenopathy and eggshell calcifications in systemic sclerosis.
A 44-year-old man previously diagnosed with SSc presented with digital pain and worsening respiratory function. The patient was positive for antinuclear and anti-Scl-70 antibodies. He was negative for RF. A highresolution CT scan demonstrated diffuse ground glass change and interstitial thickening without significant honeycombing in the lower lobes of both lungs, in a pattern consistent with no...
متن کاملHigh frequency skin ultrasonography in systemic sclerosis
Background: Systemic sclerosis is an autoimmune connective tissue disorder which is characterised by cutaneous and internal organ fibrosis. Raynaud’s phenomenon is the earliest feature and may precede the onset of the disease by months to years. The heart, lungs, gastrointestinal tract, kidneys and other organs may be involved. Our aim was to evaluate skin thickness and echogenicity in systemic...
متن کاملAssociation between atherosclerosis and parenchymal lung involvement in systemic sclerosis
Background: Systemic sclerosis is an autoimmune disease affecting connective tissues, (including epidermal, subepidermal, microvasculature, etc.), leading to various extent of end-organ damage. The leading cause of mortality among these patients is lung involvement. The cardiovascular events happen more frequently in patients suffering systemic scleroderma, comparing to healthy population. This...
متن کاملStretching Reduces Skin Thickness and Improves Subcutaneous Tissue Mobility in a Murine Model of Systemic Sclerosis
OBJECTIVE Although physical therapy can help preserve mobility in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc), stretching has not been used systematically as a treatment to prevent or reverse the disease process. We previously showed in rodent models that stretching promotes the resolution of connective tissue inflammation and reduces new collagen formation after injury. Here, we tested the hypothes...
