[Histochemical investigations in scleroderma (author's transl)]. 1976

H W Kreysel, and P Brügge, and M Jänner, and J Kimmig

The behavior of proteoglycanes was examined by histochemical methods in excised particles of skin from patients with progressive (n = 24) and circumscribed (n = 74) scleroderma. A method described by Ishikawa was principally used. An increase of the proteoglycanes was shown preferentially in the vascular and perivascular regions in progressive scleroderma and in the interfibrous space of the connective tissue in circumscribed scleroderma. While the vascular sclerosis is prominent from the clinical point of view in progressive scleroderma, the disease processes are found in collagen connective tissue of the corium in morphea.

D012594 Scleroderma, Localized A term used to describe a variety of localized asymmetrical SKIN thickening that is similar to those of SYSTEMIC SCLERODERMA but without the disease features in the multiple internal organs and BLOOD VESSELS. Lesions may be characterized as patches or plaques (morphea), bands (linear), or nodules.

D012595 Scleroderma, Systemic A chronic multi-system disorder of CONNECTIVE TISSUE. It is characterized by SCLEROSIS in the SKIN, the LUNGS, the HEART, the GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT, the KIDNEYS, and the MUSCULOSKELETAL SYSTEM. Other important features include diseased small BLOOD VESSELS and AUTOANTIBODIES. The disorder is named for its most prominent feature (hard skin), and classified into subsets by the extent of skin thickening: LIMITED SCLERODERMA and DIFFUSE SCLERODERMA.
