Objective. To assess the (structural and functional) characteristics of the microvascular and dermal status in juvenile localised scleroderma (jLoS), using novel non-invasive standardised research tools commonly used in adult systemic sclerosis (SSc). Methods. Ten consecutive patients with a confirmed jLoS diagnosis were studied cross-sectionally in this two-centre case series. For each patient, the most prominent lesion (i.e. "target lesion") was chosen for further examination of the centre, edge and contralateral unaffected site. High-frequency ultrasonography was used to determine dermal thickness, durometer for skin hardness, and laser speckle contrast analysis (LASCA) for a dynamical evaluation of the microcirculation. The structure of the microcirculation was evaluated at the nailfolds of the 2 nd -5 th finger bilaterally, using nailfold videocapillaroscopy (NVC). Results. 6 linear and 4 plaque subtype jLoS lesions were included. Dermal thickness was thinner at the centre of the "target lesions" vs. the edges (p<0.001) and control sites (p<0.001). Skin hardness was harder at the centre of the "target lesions" vs. the edges (p=0.012) and control sites (p=0.003). A higher perfusion was found in the centre of the "target lesion " (124.87±66.40 PU) vs. the edges (87.27±46.40 PU; p<0.001) and control sites (67.85±37.49; p<0.001). Of note, all patients had a "non-scleroderma" pattern on NVC. Conclusion. This case series suggests the supportive value of both microcirculatory and dermal assessments of skin lesions using novel non-invasive research tools, adopted from adult SSc, for (j)LoS.
