چکیده
Systemic sclerosis sine scleroderma is a rare form of limited systemic sclerosis. These patients are without skin involvement, but do not differ in its clinical or laboratory features and prognosis from classical systemic sclerosis. In the absence of cutaneous signs/symptoms, its diagnosis is delayed leading to significant morbidity and mortality. We report a case of sixty year old female who presented to us with dyspnoea on exertion and Raynaud's phenomenon. She was investigated and was found to have this disorder with pulmonary artery hypertension.
