Abstract

Juvenile systemic sclerosis is a multisystem disorder characterized by skin fibrosis affecting the dermis and internal organs. It is a rare disease of childhood. We report a case of a 13-year-old boy with prior history of trauma who developed juvenile systemic sclerosis and the diagnosis was primarily based on skin biopsy.
