    This study presents a rare case of linear scleroderma with morphea plaques, showing subclinical systemic involvement. The discussion explores its potential, previously unreported, progression to systemic sclerosis.

    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Rheumatology
    • Autoimmune Diseases

    Background:

    • Linear scleroderma is a rare autoimmune condition affecting connective tissues.
    • Morphea, a localized form of scleroderma, can present with various plaque distributions.
    • Systemic involvement in localized scleroderma can be subclinical and requires careful monitoring.

    Observation:

    • A unique case of linear scleroderma with morphea plaques in a hemicorporeal distribution was identified.
    • The patient exhibited subclinical systemic involvement, indicating potential for broader disease manifestation.
    • This presentation highlights an unusual pattern of localized scleroderma.

    Findings:

    • The case demonstrates a rare hemicorporeal distribution of morphea plaques alongside linear scleroderma.

  • Subclinical systemic involvement was detected, suggesting a more complex disease process than initially apparent.
  • The study discusses the potential for this rare presentation to evolve into systemic sclerosis.

    • Implications:

    • This case expands the understanding of scleroderma spectrum disorders.
    • Early identification of subclinical involvement is crucial for predicting disease progression.
    • The potential progression to systemic sclerosis, if confirmed, necessitates novel diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.
