Abstract:
Although the presence of morphea following COVID-19 has been rarely reported, the development of its generalized form following COVID-19 vaccination has not been reported yet. Here, we reported the first case of generalized morphea following COVID-19 vaccination and another similar case following SARS-Cov-2 infection. Other etiologic factors were also dealt with.
