Abstract
Localized juvenile scleroderma is an autoimmune disease with an unknown cause, marked by skin fibrosis and sometimes involving the underlying fascia, muscles, and skeletal tissue. The diseases severity can vary from isolated skin hardening in one area to severe, disabling conditions affecting the skin, subcutaneous tissue, muscles, and bones if diagnosis is delayed. Here, we present a case of localized juvenile scleroderma from the Pediatrics Department at Mohammed VI University Hospital Center in Oujda.
