Disorders of the Scleroderma Family: The Importance of the Differential Diagnosis. Lipodystrophy or lipoatrophy may be confused with the late stages of morphea or systemic scleroderma. There is a long list of disorders causing scleroderma-like skin changes. Consider this possibility if your particular case seems to be atypical, showing unusual symptoms or distribution of skin involvement. In atypical cases you may consider the coexistence of another disease. László Czirják. First EULAR/EUSTAR Course. (Also see: Disorders Similar to Scleroderma: Localized Lipodystrophy)

Simultaneous Occurrence of Malignancies and Connective Tissue Diseases. At the onset of an autoimmune disease, especially if the patient is older than 50 years it is worth screening for the presence of malignant tumors in the background. C. Varjú. FRI0324 EULAR 2004.

Juvenile Systemic Sclerosis: A Follow-up Study of Eight Patients. Our results suggest that in jSSc, Raynaud's phenomenon is more severe, whereas internal organ manifestations and the frequency of autoantibodies are far less pronounced than in adult-onset SSc. Also, the survival rate and final outcome of patients with jSSc appear to be better than those in patients with adult-onset SSc. Ann. N.Y. Acad.
