Abstract:
En coup de sabre is a rare subtype of morphea. Only a few bilateral cases have been reported to date. We report a case of a 12-year-old male child with two linear brownish depressed asymptomatic lesions over the forehead with hair loss on the scalp. After thorough clinical, ultrasonography and brain imaging, a diagnosis of bilateral en coup de sabre morphea was made and the patient was treated with oral steroids and weekly methotrexate.

The dermis might be considered the "core" of the integumentary system, as distinct from the epidermis and hypodermis.
