Abstract

Scleroderma is a descriptive construct that defines a large family of -diseases characterized clinically by thickening of the skin. Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a complex disease affecting multiple organ systems and is the most -representative and prevalent of this spectrum of disorders. Generalized subcutaneous morphea (GSM, morphea profunda) is a form of localized scleroderma that tends to spare the internal organs. We are presenting two cases illustrating the aforementioned clinical entities.
