  • Title: Progressive facial hemiatrophy with localized scleroderma.
    Author: Nakazawa A, Matsuo I, Ohkido M.
    Journal: Tokai J Exp Clin Med; 1992 Jul; 17(2):85-7. PubMed ID: 1440658.
    Abstract:
    A 46-year-old woman who presented with progressive facial hemiatrophy (PFH) following localized scleroderma is described. The patient had a markedly deformed and depressed plaque surrounded by erythema on the right cheek. She also showed linear scleroderma with hair loss on the occipital area and morphea lesions on the neck and shoulder. Histological findings of the facial and other atrophic lesions were consistent with localized scleroderma. Therefore, the PFH and localized scleroderma may have had the same pathological background in this case.
