Psoriasis is a widely prevalent disease, a chronic disorder with genetic predisposition and many environmental triggering factors. It has various clinical presentations. Typical lesions are recurring, chronic, scaly erythematous papules and plaques. Clinical presentation differs among patients, from those with only few localized plaques over extensors to those with generalized skin involvement. We report a 28-year-old man who presented with unusual clinical presentation of psoriasis.
Morphea is a cutaneous disorder characterized by excessive collagen deposition leading to thickening of the dermis, subcutaneous tissue or both. Clinically, it is classified into circumscribed, generalized including coalescent plaque and pansclerotic, linear, mixed and rarely guttate type. Morphea can present with laboratory abnormalities including positive antinuclear antibodies. Here we represent a clinical review of morphea in Saudi Arabia.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
