Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Morphea of the breast is an uncommon skin condition associated with autoimmune disorders and has also been described following radiotherapy. The inflammatory stage of morphea can commonly be mistaken for a breast abscess or inflammation. We report two cases of localized scleroderma affecting the breast with no history of autoimmune disease or radiation treatment. In both the cases, the lesions improved with the use of topical steroids. |
