Morphea is an auto-immune disease, and its association with other immune-mediated diseases should not come as a surprise. Dermatologists should be aware of its possible coexistence with severe systemic involvement.

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.

Morphea, also known as localized scleroderma, is an autoimmune chronic connective tissue disease. It is characterized by excessive collagen deposition in the dermis and/or subcutaneous tissue. The etiopathogenesis of this disease is not fully understood, with endothelial cell damage, immunological disorders, extracellular matrix disorders and factors such as infection, trauma and other autoimmune diseases being considered.

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.
