Özet
Linear scleroderma is a rare variant of localized scleroderma typically seen in children and localized in the extremities. A 21-year-old female patient had a well-defined, hyper-pigmented, sclerotic plaque on right half of the frontal trunk, starting from the breast and arcing up to the right arm, then continuing linearly with anti-nuclear antibody positivity in her laboratory results. Histopathology was compatible with scleroderma. She was diagnosed linear scleroderma. There is an ongoing argument on whether localized scleroderma follows Blaschko's lines or not. By presenting this case, we aimed to contribute to literature claiming that localized scleroderma may follow Blaschko's lines. © 2012 Düzce Medical Journal.
