Abstract
A 29-year-old Japanese woman presented with alopecia lesions in her occipital region and was diagnosed as linear scleroderma. Topical steroids along with psoralen and UVA light therapy were applied, but the lesion persisted. A surgical approach was therefore selected to treat the lesion. The resection was successful without any recurrence for 1 year. Sclerotic lesions on the exposed areas can cause cosmetic disfigurement, and surgery may be a useful modality for treating stable linear scleroderma.
