ICD Scleroderma is a chronic systemic autoimmune disease characterized by fibrosis (or hardening), vascular alterations, and autoantibodies. There are two major forms: Limited systemic sclerosis/scleroderma cutaneous manifestations mainly affect the hands, arms and face. Previously called CREST syndrome in reference to the following complications: C alcinosis, R aynaud's phenomenon, E sophageal dysfunction, S clerodactyly, and T elangiectasias. Additionally, pulmonary arterial hypertension may occur in up to one third of patients and is the most serious complication for this form of scleroderma. Diffuse systemic sclerosis/scleroderma is rapidly progressing and affects a large area of the skin and one or more internal organs, frequently the kidneys, esophagus, heart and lungs. This form of scleroderma can be quite disabling. There are no treatments for scleroderma itself, but individual organ system complications are treated. Other forms of scleroderma include Systemic sine scleroderma, which lacks skin changes, but has systemic manifestations, and two localized forms which affect the skin, but not the internal organs: morphea, and linear scleroderma.

Also known as systemic sclerosis, scleroderma always affects the skin, causing hard, oval-shaped patches or streaks of thickened skin on the arms, legs and forehead. These patches can move inward to the bones and muscles. Besides thickening and hardening of the skin, scleroderma can cause skin to lose elasticity and become shiny as it stretches across bones. Other symptoms include: Numbness, pain or color changes in fingers, toes, cheeks, nose and ears, often brought on by cold or emotional distress

Shiel Jr., MD, FACP, FACR Scleroderma is a chronic condition that causes inflammation and thickening of the skin. The cause of scleroderma is not known. Researchers have found some evidence that genes are important factors, but the environment seems to also play a role. This means that inheritance at least play a partial role. It is not unusual to find other autoimmune diseases in families of scleroderma patients. Some evidence for the role genes may play in leading to the development of scleroderma comes from the study of Choctaw Native Americans who are the group with the highest reported prevalence of the disease. The disease is more frequent in females than in males.

These disorders are rheumatic diseases of the connective tissue. Scleroderma is thought to be an autoimmune disorder, meaning that the body attacks its own cells and damages them. What sets the body against itself isn't yet known. Although scleroderma is not inherited, there may be a tendency to develop it in families that have a history of it or other rheumatic diseases. Some cases of scleroderma have been linked to environmental factors such as exposure to certain chemicals or pollutants. Scleroderma disorders affect around 300,000 people in the United States. About one-third of these individuals have scleroderma occurring throughout the body (called "systemic"), which is the most serious kind. Scleroderma can develop in every age group from infants to elderly, but most frequently begins between the ages of 25 to 55. Eighty percent of people affected by scleroderma are women.

Systemic sclerosis Raynaud's phenomenon is often the first sign of the scleroderma disease process. With this condition, small blood vessels narrow in the fingers, toes, ears, and even the nose. Attacks of Raynaud's phenomenon can occur several times a day, and are often brought on or worsened by exposure to cold. Warmth relieves these attacks. In severe cases, attacks can develop regardless of the temperature. Severe cases may also cause open sores or damage to the skin and bones, if the circulation is cut off for too long. Stress also can trigger the syndrome. Typically, the fingers go through three color changes:

    Extractions: Browse By Category Browse Alphabetically Search Health Conditions Table of Contents Common Misspellings: scleraderma, schleraderma, schleroderma Derived from the Greek words "sklerosis," meaning hardness, and "derma," meaning skin, scleroderma literally means hard skin. Though it is often referred to as if it were a single disease, scleroderma is really a symptom of a group of diseases that involve the abnormal growth of connective tissue, which supports the skin and internal organs. It is sometimes used, therefore, as an umbrella term for these disorders. In some forms of scleroderma, hard, tight skin is the extent of this abnormal process. In other forms, however, the problem goes much deeper, affecting blood vessels and internal organs, such as the heart, lungs, and kidneys. Scleroderma is called both a rheumatic (roo-MA-tik) disease and a connective tissue disease. The term rheumatic disease refers to a group of conditions characterized by inflammation and/or pain in the muscles, joints, or fibrous tissue. A connective tissue disease is one that affects the major substances in the skin, tendons, and bones.
