Abstract
Juvenile localised scleroderma is a rare childhood disorder of the immune system and connective tissue with unknown etiology. There are different types of localised scleroderma, including linear scleroderma (where the lesion appears as a line or streak) and plaque or circumscribed morphea (where the lesion appears as a roundish lesion). The present report describes the case of a 10-year-old girl, who presented with a history of linear scleroderma with nose, oral and dental involvement, and outlines the diagnosis of the case based on the clinical presentation, pathology, X-ray and cone beam computed tomography images. The treatment strategy that was selected for the patient is additionally discussed.Entities:
