Scleroderma
“Skleros-” = hard
“-derma” = skin
 Incidence 1-2/100,000 in USA
 Peak age of onset 30-50 y.o.
 Female:male 7-12: 1
 Disease manifestation is a result of host
factors + environment (concordance is
similar in monozygotic and dizygotic
twins)

Scleroderma
Three major disease subsets: based on extent of skin dz

Localized Scleroderma
Morphea: manifests as focal patches
 Linear scleroderma: band-like (linear) areas of
thickening. (Coup de Sabre)


Limited disease AKA "CREST" syndrome



Calcinosis, Raynauds, Esophageal dysmotility
Sclerodactyly, Telangiectasias
Diffuse disease - skin abnormalities extending
to the proximal extremities (AKA - PSS)
(Scleroderma sine scleroderma)

Raynauds
Swollen or puffy digits
Loss of skin folds, no hair
growth

Arthralgias >> Arthritis
Scleroderma
A disorder of Collagen, Vessels



Etiology: unknown?
Autoimmune disorder suggested by the
presence of characteristic autoantibodies such
as ANA, anti-centromere and anti-SCL-70
antibodies.
Pathology:
 Early dermal changes lymphocytic infiltrates
primarily of T cells
 Major abnormality is collagen accumulation
with fibrosis.
Scleroderma


Small to medium-sized
blood vessels, which
show bland fibrotic
change
Vasculopathy, NOT
vasculitis!
Small thrombi may
form on the altered
intimal surfaces.


Skin:
Skin thickening is most noticeable in the hands,
looking swollen, puffy, waxy.
 Thickening extends to proximal extremity, truncal
and facial skin thickening is seen.
 Raynaud's phenomenon is present.
 Digital pits or scarring of the distal digital pulp


Musculoskeletal: Arthralgias and joint
stiffness are common.
Palpable tendon friction rubs associated with an
increased incidence of organ involvement.
 Muscle weakness or frank myositis can be seen.

PSS - Clinical

Gastrointestinal: Esophageal
dysmotility, dysphagia,
malabsorptive or blind loop
syndrome, constipation.
Renal: Kidney involvement is an ominous
finding and important cause of death in diffuse
scleroderma. A hypertensive crisis (AKA renal
crisis) may herald the onset of rapidly
progressive renal failure.
Scleroderma Renal Crisis

Risk Factors
 diffuse skin involvement
 rapid progression of skin thickening
 disease course < 4 years
 anti-RNA-polymerase III-antibodies
 newly manifested anemia
 newly manifested cardiac involvement
pericardial effusion
heart insufficiency
preceded high-dose corticoid therapy
 pregnancy

Muscle specific- Aldolase, Troponin, Carb. anhydraseIII
AST > LDH > ALT
Beware of incr. creatinine (ATN) and myoglobinuria
EMG: increased insertional activity,
amplitude, polyphasics, neuropathic changes,
incremental/decremental MU changes
DIAGNOSTIC TESTING

Muscle Biopsy (an URGENT not elective
procedure)
Call the neuropathologist! 85% Sensitive.
 Biopsy involved muscle (MRI guided)
 Avoid EMG/injection sites or sites of trauma
