Scleroderma
DESCRIPTION Scleroderma is a chronic disease of unknown etiology, characterized by diffuse fibrosis, degenerative changes, and vascular abnormalities in the skin, articular structures and other organs (kidneys, lung, heart, gastrointestinal and skeletal muscles). The majority of manifestations have vascular features (e.g., Raynaud's phenomenon), but frank vasculitis is rarely seen. It can range from a mild disease, affecting the skin, to a systemic disease that can cause death in a few months.

There are two maintypes of Scleroderma: Localized and Systemic.
  • Localized Scleroderma
    • Morphea
    • Linear scleroderma - only a single line marking on the skin.
  • Systemic Scleroderma (Systemic Sclerosis)
    • Limited scleroderma
    • Diffuse scleroderma
    • Sine scleroderma
Localized types of scleroderma are those limited to the skin and related tissues and, in some cases, the muscle below. Internal organs are not affected by localized scleroderma, and localized scleroderma can never progress to the systemic form of the disease. Often, localized conditions improve or go away on their own over time, but the skin changes and damage that occur when the disease is active can be permanent. For some people, localized scleroderma is serious and disabling.
There are two generally recognized types of localized scleroderma:
  • Morphea: The first symptoms of Morphea scleroderma are reddish patches of skin that thicken into firm, oval-shaped areas. The center of each patch becomes ivory colored with violet borders. These patches sweat very little and have little hair growth. Morphea can be either localized or systemic.
  • Linear scleroderma: The disease has a single line or band of thickened and/or abnormally colored skin.
Systemic scleroderma, or systemic sclerosis, is the term for the disease that not only includes the skin, but also involves the tissues beneath to the blood vessels and major organs. Systemic sclerosis is typically broken down into diffuse and limited disease. People with systemic sclerosis often have all or some of the symptoms that some doctors call CREST, which stands for the following:
  • Raynaud's phenomenon: a condition in which the small blood vessels of the hands and/or feet contract in response to cold or anxiety.
  • Esophageal dysfunction: impaired function of the esophagus that occurs when smooth muscles in the esophagus lose normal movement.
  • Sclerodactyly: thick and tight skin on the fingers, resulting from deposits of excess collagen within skin layers.
  • Telangiectasias: small red spots on the hands and face that are caused by the swelling of tiny blood vessels.
There are several types of systemic scleroderma:
  • Limited scleroderma: Limited scleroderma typically comes on gradually and affects the skin only in certain areas: the fingers, hands, face, lower arms, and legs.
  • Diffuse scleroderma: Diffuse scleroderma typically comes on suddenly. Skin thickening occurs quickly and over much of the body, affecting the hands, face, upper arms, upper legs, chest, and stomach in a symmetrical fashion.
  • Sine scleroderma: Sine may resemble either limited or diffuse systemic sclerosis, causing changes in the lungs, kidneys, and blood vessels. It does not affect the skin.
