Esclerodermia localizada na criança: aspectos clínicos, diagnósticos e terapêuticos

Abstract: Resumo: A esclerodermia localizada, ou morféia, acomete crianças em idade escolar e, em geral, é autolimitada, apesar de localmente desfiguradora. A literatura descreve inúmeros fatores etiopatogênicos, bem como modalidades de investigação e tratamento. Este artigo reúne os estudos mais recentes e discute sua aplicação clínica. Palavras-chave: Criança; Esclerodermia localizada; Revisão Abstract: Localized scleroderma or morphea affects school-aged children, is usually self-limited and a disfiguring condition. … Show more

“…4,14 The localized scleroderma, also known as morphea, presents with mostly cutaneous involvement and only rarely involves the joints, causing contractures and retraction of the limbs. 15 The histology differs from SSS, with lymphocytic infiltrate on the dermal-epidermal junction and abnormally sclerotic collagen on the reticular dermis, and it responds favorably to treatment with anti inflammatory medication. Neonatal scleredema is more related to prematurity, and the histology shows lesions to the adipocytes, which were absent on the actual patient.…”

“…5 It is classified into five subtypes: plaque morphea, generalized morphea, linear scleroderma, en coup de sabre and pansclerotic. 6 The most common types are plaque morphea and linear scleroderma, 1,3,5 the former characterized by brownish indurated patches of thickened skin occasionally surrounded by a violaceous/ erythematous "lilac" border, 4,6 which is associated with active stages of the disease. 7 Histologically, it has three principal characteristics: collagen deposits in the dermis and subcutaneous layer, vascular abnormalities and inflammatory cell infiltrate.…”

“…The inflammatory infiltrate is composed of lymphocytes, macrophages and other plasma cells distributed around the vessels and diffusely through the dermis and subcutaneous layer. 6,8 Localized scleroderma must be differentiated from systemic sclerosis. In the latter condition, there is cutaneous fibrosis and the internal organs are affected, leading to interstitial lung disease, pulmonary arterial hypertension and renal failure, among others, that are a consequence of structural and functional abnormalities of the endothelium and activation of the immune system.…”
