A Case of Nodular Morphea with Linear Arrangement / 대한피부과학회지

ABSTRACT

Nodular morphea, also known as keloidal morphea, is a rare variant of scleroderma, characterized by the presence of nodular lesions resembling keloids. Histological findings are highly variable; from characteristics of hypertrophic or keloid scarring to those of scleroderma or mixed form. A 13-year-old girl was presented with asymptomatic brown or ivory colored mottled sclerotic patch with purple colored firm papules in a linear distribution on her right thigh for 2 years. She was healthy, otherwise. Histopathological findings showed morphea on patch lesion and keloid on nodular lesion.
