RESUMO
Scleroderma is rare disease of unknown etiology characterized by fibrosis of skin and internal organs such as lung, gastrointestinal tract, kidney, heart and so on. The association between scleroderma and malignancy has been a controversy during recent years. We report a 77-year old female who had scleroderma and squamous cell carcinoma of esophagus. She was diagnosed as esophageal carcinoma and then sclerotic skin change developed in both hands and feet 3 months later. We present this case with a review of literatures.
