    Area of Science:

    • Rheumatology
    • Pediatrics
    • Dermatology

    Context:

    • Scleroderma is a rare autoimmune disease affecting connective tissues.
    • Childhood-onset scleroderma presents unique diagnostic and management challenges.
    • Understanding the specific manifestations in children is vital for effective treatment.

    Purpose:

    • To describe the clinical characteristics and organ involvement in five pediatric scleroderma cases.
    • To differentiate between diffuse systemic sclerosis and CREST syndrome in children.
    • To highlight key histopathological and radiological findings in childhood scleroderma.

    Summary:

    • Five pediatric patients (4 female, 1 male) with scleroderma (3 diffuse systemic sclerosis, 1 CREST syndrome) were studied.
    • Onset averaged 13 years, with follow-up of 3.6 years.

  • Common initial symptoms included Raynaud phenomenon, edema, arthralgia, myalgia, and inflammatory myopathy. Proximal scleroderma was universal, with three experiencing rapid facial skin changes. Skin biopsies confirmed diagnosis. Major organ involvement included esophageal dysfunction and lung fibrosis; intestinal issues were noted in three, but no kidney, liver, or nervous system disorders were found.

    • Impact:

    • Provides insights into the specific presentation and progression of scleroderma in children.
    • Emphasizes the importance of early detection and comprehensive evaluation for organ involvement.
    • Contributes to the limited literature on pediatric systemic sclerosis and CREST syndrome, aiding future research and clinical practice.
