ABSTRACT
Morphea is a sclerotic connective tissue disorder and it is thought to be caused by the decreased activity of collagenase. Various therapeutic modalitiessuch as topical steroid and systemic steroid, antimalarial agents, cyclosporine and phototherapy have been shown to be effective to treat this illness. Recently, PUVA and UVA1 phototherapy for localized scleroderma have been shown to have excellent efficacy. But PUVA and UVA1 phototherapy also have some disadvantages. So another phototherapy modality is warranted. Herein we report on a case of a 7 year female patient with linear scleroderma and she obtained a successful result with NBUVB phototherapy.
