Solitary plaque-type morphea with dystrophic calcinosis cutis

Abstract

Plaque-type morphea is the most frequent clinical form of morphea (localized scleroderma). It is characterized by thickened scar-like oval patches of skin, most frequently seen on the trunk and proximal extremities and typically confined to the dermis. Cutaneous calcification is a common finding in systemic sclerosis, but occurs rarely in morphea.
