Nodular/keloidal scleroderma: acquired collagenous nodules in systemic sclerosis.

Case Report Keloidal Scleroderma: Case Report and Review

Objective. We report a rare case of keloidal scleroderma and provide an analysis of similar cases. Results. A 41 year-old woman presented with dark brown, indurated, exophytic nodules over the chest along with smaller hyperpigmented plaques scattered over the abdomen, with concomitant sclerodactyly.The clinical, laboratory, and pathological findings were consistent with a diagnosis of keloidal ...

Lupus erythematosus profundus (lupus panniculitis) induced by interferon-β in a patient with multiple sclerosis

We report a patient with multiple sclerosis (MS) who developed subcutaneous nodules in the face, shoulders and extremities while being treated with interferon (IFN)-β-1b. These nodules fluctuated in parallel with myelopathy, and were diagnosed as lupus erythematosus profundus (LEP) based on histopathological findings. The patient showed no relapse of either neurological symptoms or subcutaneous...

Sarcoidosis and Systemic Sclerosis: Strange Bedfellows

Coexistence of systemic sclerosis and sarcoidosis is rare. Both have predominant lung manifestations, each with distinctive features on computed tomography (CT) of the chest. We present herein a 52-year-old male with limited systemic sclerosis manifested primarily by sclerodactyly and subsequently by shortness of breath. A series of CT scans of the chest were reviewed. Initial CT chest one year...

Scleroderma with Nodular Scleroderma

BACKGROUND Nodular scleroderma is a rare variant of scleroderma which can occur in connection with systemic sclerosis or morphea. A biopsy from the lesion can demonstrate the scleroderma pattern, i.e., keloid pattern or mixed type. Treatment is challenging, and several treatments modalities have been reported with unsatisfactory results. MAIN OBSERVATIONS We present a case of systemic scleros...
