    Area of Science:

    • Rheumatology
    • Dermatology
    • Autoimmunology

    Background:

    • Progressive Systemic Sclerosis (PSS) is a chronic connective tissue disease.
    • Characterized by skin sclerosis and internal organ involvement.
    • Pathogenesis involves autoimmune mechanisms and vascular damage.

    Observation:

    • A unique case of PSS presented with extensive skin depigmentation.
    • The depigmentation closely resembled the appearance of vitiligo.
    • This presentation is uncommon in typical PSS cases.

    Findings:

    • The case highlights an unusual dermatological manifestation of PSS.
    • Suggests a potential link between PSS and pigmentary changes.
    • Widespread depigmentation can occur in Progressive Systemic Sclerosis.

    Implications:

    • Broadens the understanding of PSS clinical presentations.
    • May prompt earlier consideration of PSS in patients with unexplained depigmentation.
    • Further research into PSS pathogenesis and its cutaneous effects is warranted.
