Dr. Paavai S., Dr. Vipul Paul Thomas, Dr. Deepthi Ravi and Dr. Jayakar Thomas*
ABSTRACT
Morphea is also known as localized scleroderma or circumscribed scleroderma. It is characterized by varying degree of sclerosis, fibrosis, and atrophy in the skin and subcutaneous tissues, sometimes extending deeply into muscles, bone and even the brain. Based on clinical findings, morphea can be classified into five groups: plaque, generalized, bullous, linear, and deep. Generalized morphea displays widespread, multiple, well-circumscribed, indurated plaques that resemble the lesions of the plaque form.
