Superficial morphea, a skin condition, has been observed in a male patient, challenging previous reports that exclusively documented it in females. This case expands our understanding of superficial morphea demographics.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Histopathology
  • Clinical Medicine

Background:

  • Superficial morphea is a distinct subtype of morphea, characterized by unique clinical and histological findings.
  • Previous literature has exclusively reported cases of superficial morphea in female patients.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report the first documented case of superficial morphea in a male patient.
  • To highlight the potential for superficial morphea to occur in both sexes.

Main Methods:

  • Case report presentation.
  • Clinical and histological examination of the affected patient.

Main Results:

  • The patient presented with clinical and histological features consistent with superficial morphea.

  • This case represents the first documented instance of superficial morphea in a male.

    • Conclusions:

    • Superficial morphea can affect male patients, contrary to previous observations.
    • This finding broadens the known demographic profile of superficial morphea.
