ABSTRACT

Keloidal Morphea is a rare variant of Scleroderma. It has been suggested that it represents a keloidal reponse to inflammatory components of scleroderma, in genetically predisposed patients to develop keloids, in areas ok the skin that have a high predilection for keloid formation, such as the chest. The differential diagnosis includes spontaneous keloids, dermatomyofibroma, and fibromatosis.
There is no known effective treatment for keloidal scleroderma.
