Abstract:
Diffuse scleroderma is a kind of scleroderma in which the immune system malfunctions, leading to excessive production of collagen in the skin and a variety of organ abnormalities. Based on previously recognized criteria, overlap syndrome is a disorder in which two or more medical illnesses are documented in a single patient. These syndromes are significantly more prevalent in illnesses with mixed connective tissue. In this case report, we present a patient with overlapping systemic sclerosis and polymyositis symptoms. The treatment and diagnosis of this extremely uncommon condition are discussed in further detail.
