Abstract:
A 20-year-old man with a 9-year history of unusual subcutaneous morphea with nodular lesions in a circular arrangement and wooden-hard symmetrical induration of the arms, had high titers of fibronectin antibodies. A possible role of fibronectin and antifibronectin antibodies in the pathogenesis of scleroderma is discussed.
