We have encountered a 68-year-old Japanese woman with limited cutaneous systemic sclerosis who developed de novo onset of accelerated hypertension and renal dysfunction; thus we diagnosed scleroderma renal crisis. Anticentromere antibody alone was identified, and not anti-DNA topoisomerase I antibody, anti-RNA polymerase antibodies, anti-Th/To antibodies, or antiribonucleoprotein antibodies, even with use of immunoprecipitation assay. She was successfully treated with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor. This case, scleroderma renal crisis with detection of anticentromere antibody, is thought to be extremely uncommon.
