In this report, we review 5 sclerodermiform cutaneous conditions: eosinophilic fasciitis, systemic nephrogenic fibrosis, scleredema, scleromyxedema, and toxic oil syndrome. We emphasize the morphological differences between the conditions and some morphological clues that are important to differential diagnosis.

“…118 Elastic fibers are often fragmented. 121 The changes in nephrogenic systemic fibrosis are similar to those seen in scleromyxedema (see below). Occasionally, eosinophils 89,91 or mast cells 119 are prominent.…”
“…In der neueren Literatur sind mehrere Fälle eines Skleromyxödems mit interstitiell granulomatöser Komponente beschrieben [4][5][6] . Rongioletti et al [ 7 ] unterscheiden nach Untersuchung von 44 Gewebeproben von Patienten mit Skleromyxödem zwei histologische Muster: ein klassisches Muster mit Fibroblastenproliferation, Verdickung der kollagenen Fasern und Muzineinlagerung und ein Interstitial-Granuloma-annulare-like -Muster, bei dem es zu einer interstitiellen Ansammlung von teils epitheloidzelligen, teils spindelzelligen Histiozyten und einzelnen Riesenzellen kommt.…”
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.
