Vitiligolike macules in systemic scleroderma.

J L Sánchez, M Vázquez, N P Sánchez

    Archives of Dermatology
    |February 1, 1983
    PubMed
    Summary

    Systemic scleroderma can cause skin pigment changes, including depigmentation similar to vitiligo. Immunologic factors may play a role in these skin alterations, though subtle differences exist.

    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Immunology
    • Pathogenesis of Scleroderma

    Background:

    • Skin pigment changes, including hyperpigmentation and depigmentation, are known in systemic scleroderma.
    • The precise relationship between these pigmentary changes and the underlying pathogenesis of systemic scleroderma remains unclear.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the characteristics of depigmented lesions in systemic scleroderma.
    • To explore the potential role of immunologic mechanisms in the development of depigmentation in systemic scleroderma.

    Main Methods:

    • Clinical examination of depigmented lesions.
    • Histologic, histochemical, immunopathologic, and electron microscopic analyses were performed.
    • Comparison of lesions with vitiligo.

    Main Results:

    • Depigmented lesions in systemic scleroderma exhibited similarities to vitiligo.
    • Subtle but distinct differences were observed between scleroderma-associated depigmentation and vitiligo.
    • Evidence suggests involvement of immunologic mechanisms in depigmentation for both conditions.

    Conclusions:

    • Depigmentation in systemic scleroderma shares features with vitiligo, indicating potential overlapping pathomechanisms.
    • Immunologic factors are implicated in the induction of depigmentation in systemic scleroderma, similar to vitiligo.
