| Disorders of the Scleroderma Family: The Importance of the Differential Diagnosis. Lipodystrophy or lipoatrophy may be confused with the late stages of morphea or systemic scleroderma. There is a long list of disorders causing scleroderma-like skin changes. Consider this possibility if your particular case seems to be atypical, showing unusual symptoms or distribution of skin involvement. In atypical cases you may consider the coexistence of another disease. László Czirják. First EULAR/EUSTAR Course. (Also see: Disorders Similar to Scleroderma: Localized Lipodystrophy ) |

Also, the survival rate and final outcome of patients with jSSc appear to be better than those in patients with adult-onset SSc. Pub Med, Ann N Y Acad Sci. 2005 Jun;1051:229-34.
