BACKGROUND: The atrophies are left after regression of linear scleroderma "en coup de sabre." They are often irreversible and disfiguring. Several surgical techniques have been attempted to correct atrophies secondary to linear scleroderma en coup de sabre. However, the result often has proved unsatisfactory. METHODS: A patient with atrophies secondary to trilinear scleroderma en coup de sabre was treated with autologous tissue cocktail injection. RESULTS: Autologous tissue cocktail injection provided excellent cosmetic results for the treatment of atrophies secondary to trilinear scleroderma en coup de sabre. There were no complications at the donor and recipient site in the postoperative period. CONCLUSION: Autologous tissue cocktail injection appears to be a useful method for the correction of depressed atrophy of linear scleroderma en coup de sabre.
