Juvenile scleroderma (JS) is a rare chronic connective tissue disorder characterized by stiffening of the skin and soft tissues, including the oral cavity and perioral tissues, leading to fibrosis and a large spectrum of internal organs involvement, cosmetic defects, and early infant disability. The aim of this study was to investigate the histomorphological features of lesions of oral mucosa tissues in children with juvenile scleroderma (JS). 39 JS patients (9 with juvenile systemic sclerosis - JSS and 20 with juvenile scleroderma of head-JSH aged from 5 to 17 years were observed with dental examination and morphological investigation of the dental mucosa.

Erlotinib, an epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI), is currently used in the therapy of several solid malignancies. This agent has been associated with several dermatological side-effects, the most common being papulo-pustular acneiform rash. Herein we describe a unique skin effect in a patient treated with erlotinib for non-small cell lung cancer.

Patients with localized scleroderma on the face typically exhibit asymmetrical linear or patchy skin lesions and indentations on areas such as the scalp and forehead, with a smooth, waxy surface. In the early stages, medication is used to control the progression of the disease. In later stages, plastic surgery is performed to repair facial skin lesions.

Vascular endothelial growth factor as a potential biomarker in systemic sclerosis: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Introduction: Systemic sclerosis (SSc), a chronic autoimmune condition, is characterized by microvascular dysfunction, ineffective angiogenesis, and fibrosis. The identification of robust biomarkers reflecting these processes may assist in clinical management and lead to the discovery of new therapies. We sought to address this issue by conducting a systematic review and meta-analysis of studies investigating one such biomarker, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), in SSc patients and healthy controls and in SSc patients with localized or diffuse disease, different video capillaroscopy patterns (early, active, or late), and presence or absence of complications.

Aim Of The Study: to determine the frequency of joint lesions (JnL) in children with juvenile localized scleroderma and it's possible correlation with autoantibodies and markers of fibrosis.

Materials And Methods: 500 children with JLS (370 girls and 130 boys) were studied retrospectively for the joint lesion, using standard physical examination, ultrasound examination (UlS) X-ray, MRI. In 190 patients we investigated antinuclear antibodies (antinuclear factor (ANF), rheumatoid factor (RF), antitopoisomerase 1 and anticentomere antibodies, antibodies to DNA, autoantibodies to collagen (Cab) types I-IV, cryoglobulins (CG), serum fibronectine (FN) and hyalyronic acid (HA) levels.
