Journal Title: Pediatric Review: International Journal of Pediatric Research - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 6
Abstract
Juvenile Scleroderma encompasses a range of conditions unified by the presence of fibrosis of the skin. Juvenile scleroderma is of two major types: Juvenile localized scleroderma and Juvenile Systemic sclerosis. Juvenile localized scleroderma is the predominant type seen in children (>95%). We report a case of systemic sclerosis in a child, which is associated with higher mortality and morbidity. Apart from the characteristic mask like face, arthritis was the predominant complaint in our case.
