    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Genetics

    Background:

    • Familial occurrence of scleroderma is exceptionally rare.
    • Only seven instances of familial scleroderma have been previously documented.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report two new families with familial localized scleroderma.
    • To contribute to the limited existing literature on hereditary scleroderma.

    Main Methods:

    • Clinical diagnosis of localized scleroderma.
    • Histopathological confirmation of localized scleroderma.

    Main Results:

    • Two families with familial localized scleroderma were identified.
    • Three children in the first family and two children in the second family were diagnosed.
    • All affected individuals presented with clinically and histopathologically confirmed localized scleroderma.

    Conclusions:

    • This report expands the documented cases of familial scleroderma.
    • Highlights the importance of considering genetic factors in localized scleroderma.
    • Further research into the genetic basis of familial scleroderma is warranted.
