Abstract;A 38-year-old woman developed sclerotic and atrophic changes of the left femur in the winter of 1976. In 1980, she was referred to our dermatology clinic and was diagnosed with localized linear scleroderma from the results of the physical examinations and the histological findings. Although several local and systemic treatments were employed over the following 10 years, the sclerotic lesion did not show any remarkable improvement. In 1991, several hard and white papules appeared in the lesion, and a biopsy specimen of these white papules revealed calcinosis. (author abst.)
