Abstract:
Clinically, the transformation of morphea to scleroderma is rare. We report a case suggested acroselerosis transformed from guttate morphea. Patient was 30-year old woman who had generalized bean-sized depigmented macules except face since early childhood. About one year ago, Raynauds phenomenon, edema and sclerotic change of the both hands and feet were developed. On the laboratory findings, there were positive reaction for rheumatoid factor and antinauclear antibody test and increase of erythrocyte sedimentation rate. Histopathologically, there were even increased collagen fibers, atherosclerotic change of the vessels and atrophic sweat glands.
