    Anticentromere antibodies, typically linked to systemic sclerosis, were found in localized scleroderma patients. These patients showed no signs of systemic disease, suggesting a potential link between localized scleroderma and systemic sclerosis.

    Area of Science:

    • Immunology
    • Dermatology
    • Rheumatology

    Background:

    • Anticentromere antibodies (ACA) are serologic markers for CREST syndrome, a subset of systemic sclerosis.
    • Localized scleroderma is a distinct condition primarily affecting the skin.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the presence of anticentromere antibodies in patients with localized scleroderma.
    • To explore the potential relationship between localized scleroderma and systemic sclerosis.

    Main Methods:

    • Indirect immunofluorescence technique was used on metaphase chromosome spreads.
    • Twenty-five patients with various clinical forms of localized scleroderma were analyzed.

    Main Results:

    • Anticentromere antibodies were detected in three out of twenty-five localized scleroderma patients.

  • These ACA-positive patients lacked typical systemic sclerosis features like Raynaud's phenomenon or acrosclerosis.
  • Follow-up revealed no clinical evidence of systemic sclerosis in two patients.

    • Conclusions:

    • The presence of ACA in localized scleroderma patients suggests a potential association between localized scleroderma and systemic sclerosis.
    • ACA may not exclusively indicate systemic involvement in all cases.
