  • Dermatology
  • Internal Medicine

Background:

  • Scleroderma exhibits characteristic clinical features.
  • Differential diagnosis is crucial as other conditions can mimic scleroderma.
  • Atypical presentations of scleroderma and pseudo-scleroderma diseases are common.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To discuss uncommon presentations of true scleroderma.
  • To review variants of scleroderma.
  • To describe pseudo-scleroderma diseases.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of scleroderma and pseudo-scleroderma.
  • Analysis of clinical presentations.
