Localized scleroderma variants: pharmacologic implications

Abstract

Scleroderma, a complex syndrome, is a disease with varied, yet presumably related subtypes. We searched articles relating to localized scleroderma. By detailing these similarities and differences we gain increased knowledge. Furthermore, by understanding parallels and dissimilarities, possible mechanisms and interventions should be clarified.

Key words::

• generalized
• linear
• localized
• morphea
• scleroderma
