Abstract:
Morphea is a benign, cutaneous form of scleroderma and morphea profunda is one of its six clinical variants. The solitary morphea profunda is characterized by thickening and hyalinization of subcutaneous tissue and fascia with more dense inflammatory cell infiltrate and paravertebral predominant site. We present a case which showed characteristic histologic findings such as hyalinization of collagen fiber, lymphocytic and plasma cell aggregates and infiltrations.
