Abstract

Juvenile localised scleroderma is a rare childhood disorder of the immune system and connective tissue with unknown etiology. There are different types of localised scleroderma, including linear scleroderma (where the lesion appears as a line or streak) and plaque or circumscribed morphea (where the lesion appears as a roundish lesion). The present report describes the case of a 10‑year‑old girl, who presented with a history of linear scleroderma with nose, oral and dental involvement, and outlines the diagnosis of the case based on the clinical presentation, pathology, X‑ray and cone beam computed tomography images. The treatment strategy that was selected for the patient is additionally discussed.
