Abstract

Localized scleroderma (LS) is an inflammatory sclerosing disease of the skin and subcutaneous tissues associated with its atrophy. Commonly, LS is a benign self-limited disease, although, the chronic form of this disease is recurrent. Particular attention is paid to the research of treatments methods that could eliminate not only immune-mediated mechanisms, but also its outcomes (such as gross cosmetic defects on the face), which negatively affect child’s physical and psycho-emotional development. Recently, fat transplantation efficacy has been studied as it can restore the volume and improve skin quality. This article presents the results of such surgery in a patient (15 years old) with linear form of LS.
