ABSTRACT
Morphea is a rare, sclerotic connective tissue disorder and is thought to be caused by a decreased collagenase activity. Numerous treatment modalities have been tried, such as infiltration with glucocorticosteroid, D-penicillamine, antimalarial agents and cyclosporine. However, all have shown only limited success. We report a case of a 21 year- old female with localized scleroderma, who showed a marked improvement after localized therapy with high dose UVA-1.
