Abstract
Pediatric scleroderma is a rare chronic inflammatory disease in children. It includes two major clinical entities, systemic sclerosis (SSc) and localized scleroderma (LS). The two forms have a common mechanism but their clinical manifestations differ. Skin involvement occupies an important place in diagnostic classifications due to the richness of dermatological clinical manifestations and their suggestive aspect of the disease. If the vital prognosis is often not compromised, the functional prognosis is strongly affected, sometimes with deleterious aesthetic problems. Very few pediatric publications have been produced. In this article, we report the different skin manifestations inherent to this disease, and their management in children.
