2 American College of Rheumatology Systemic Sclerosis (1980): Classification criteria Diagnosis: 1 major (or) 2 minor Major criterion Proximal scleroderma (proximal to the MCP joints) Minor criteria Sclerodactyly Digital pitting or scars or loss substance finger pad Bibasilar pulmonary fibrosis
3 Classification: Scleroderma Systemic Sclerosis Diffuse cutaneous Progressive Systemic Sclerosis Limited cutaneous C.R.E.S.T. (calcinosis, Raynaud s, esophageal dysmotility, sclerodactyly, atelectasis) Syndrome Scleroderma sine scleroderma
4 Scleroderma-Like Syndromes Scleredema Scleredema is characterized by prominent symmetrical skin thickening predominantly on the trunk, particularly the shoulders and back. The face may also be affected. In severe cases, mobility of the shoulders and chest is markedly impaired. Patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus may develop a type of scleredema called scleredema of Buschke(Raynaud phenomenon and autoantibodies are not present in these patients, and internal organ involvement is rare) Scleromyxedema Scleromyxedema (papular mucinosis) is characterized by waxy yellow-red papules on the head, neck, arms, and upper trunk, commonly occurring over thickened and indurated skin. Middle-aged adults are most commonly affected. The presence of a monoclonal protein, often IgG lambda, detected by immunofixation on samples of serum and/or urine supports the diagnosis of scleromyxedema. Skin biopsy is valuable. Scleromyxedema may be associated with AL amyloidosis and multiple myeloma. Diabetes mellitus and myxedema due to hypothyroidism can be accompanied by skin induration. Endocrine disorders may also occur in some patients with monoclonal gammopathies, for example, in the POEMS syndrome (Polyneuropathy, Organomegaly, Endocrinopathy, Monoclonal gammopathy, and Skin changes)
