Progressive systemic sclerosis (PSS) can cause painful bone resorption in the upper arms. This rare condition involves cortical thinning and new bone formation, with the exact cause still unknown.

Area of Science:

  • Rheumatology
  • Scleroderma Research
  • Bone Pathology

Background:

  • Progressive systemic sclerosis (PSS) is an autoimmune disease characterized by fibrosis and vascular abnormalities.
  • Bone involvement is a recognized, though uncommon, manifestation of PSS.

Observation:

  • A case study detailing a patient with PSS experiencing significant bone resorption in both upper arms.
  • Clinical presentation included severe pain and functional impairment.

Findings:

  • Computerized tomography (CT) revealed cortical thinning and periosteal new bone formation in the affected humeri.
  • Pathological examination showed a fibrotic lesion consistent with healing, but no definitive cause for the resorption.

Implications:
