Sclerodermiform syndrome is Common in diabetic, it encompasses a set of manifestations that preferentially affect the hands and back, but the association of type 1 diabetes with systemic sclerosis is a rare entity. We report the case of 18-year-old patient from a consanguineous marriage, with a history of acute myeloid leukemia which he was treated by an allograft in France associated with chemotherapy 9 session and immunosuppressants currently in complete remission, diabetic type 1 for 4 years, hypothyroidism under levothyrox 50ug / d. At the interrogation the patient reported the consequences of the graft were marked by stage I cutaneous GVHD confirmed by skin biopsy of which he received corticosteroid therapy at a dose of 10mg / day in addition to neoral or slightly atrophic hyperpigmented macules not sclerotic at the level of the back and the lateral surface of the left foot. The patient also had corticosteroid-induced complications, including diabetes and osteoporosis. On physical examination tendon retraction, elbows and finger, Amyotrophy of the hands, palpable thyroid not increased volume allowed for glycemic imbalance. At TSH biology = 6uui / ml, HBA1C = 8%, anti-GAD antibody negative to cervical ultrasound: thyroid hypotrophy with thyroid nodules classified EUTIRADS 2. The patient is referred for follow-up in dermatology. The association of sweet diabetes and sclerodermiform lesions is frequently linked to the glycemic imbalance responsible for an accumulation of extracellar matrix and excessive glycation of collagen. The search for signs of scleroderma should be evoked in front of a diabetic hand syndrome to Watch for and treat associated pathologies.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
