Disease recurrence in localized scleroderma: a retrospective analysis of 344 patients with paediatric- or adult-onset disease

Abstract: Recurrences in LoS occurred in almost one-quarter of the patients and were most frequent in the linear LoS of the limbs subtype, independent of age at disease onset. These disease recurrences can occur even after many years of quiescent disease. Awareness of the high recurrence rates may help treating physicians to recognize reactivation of the disease, leading to a decreased delay in treatment reinitiation.

“…In the majority of cases LoSc does not progress to systemic sclerosis, however there have been reports on the development of LoSc in the course of systemic sclerosis with limited scleroderma [2]. Approximately 25% of patients show regression of cutaneous lesions after various periods -in cases of plaque morphea after about 2.5 years, and in cases of linear, deep and generalized LoSc after about 5.5 years [2,7]. A retrospective analysis conducted in a group of 344 patients demonstrated disease recurrence in 27% of patients with paediatric-onset and in 17% of patients with adult-onset LoSc [7].…”

A retrospective analysis conducted in a group of 344 patients demonstrated disease recurrence in 27% of patients with paediatric-onset and in 17% of patients with adult-onset LoSc [7]. The association between disease recurrence and LoSc subtype was statistically significant for linear LoSc of the limbs subtype, which shows that patients with this clinical form of LoSc require prolonged aggressive treatment [7].…”
