Generalized morphea (GM) is a subtype of localized scleroderma that usually manifests with bilateral involvement. Unilateral generalized morphea (UGM) is a rare variant of GM. This is a case report of a Taiwanese girl with UGM over the left side of her body. She presented with hyperpigmentation, tightness, and skin atrophy over the left extremities and trunk. Mild range of motion (ROM) limitation over the left knee was also noted. At the clinic, the patient was given oral prednisolone, oral methotrexate (MTX), and oral D-penicillamine. topical emollient and topical glucocorticoids were also given. The dose of oral prednisolone was tapered gradually. All symptoms were improved under the treatment and regular rehabilitation program. To date, there is very little evidence to form the basis for treatment recommendations. This case report provides a treatment option for UGM in the paediatric group without the use of intravenous methylprednisolone pulse therapy.

Abstract:The etiology of localized scleroderma remains unclear. The objective of this article is to review different theories of etiology, specifically provocative and predisposing factors for the development of localized scleroderma. The mini-review presents the factors, which may influence the occurrence of localized scleroderma. The genetic predisposition for the development of scleroderma is a relevant characteristic of the disease. Different traumatic factors, viral & bacterial infections, chemical substances, pharmaceutical agents may trigger localized scleroderma. Neoplasia is regarded as a distinct triggering impulse for scleroderma.
