Zusammenfassung:Nodular scleroderma, also known as keloidal scleroderma, is a rare form of scleroderma that may occur with either systemic sclerosis or localized scleroderma. Clinically, this disorder is characterized by keloidal nodules that form in sclerodermatous areas. These nodules may histologically show the presence of keloidal collagen. Because of the rarity of this condition, clinicians may not be familiar with the clinical and histologic features relevant to this scleroderma variant. In this report, we describe 2 cases of nodular scleroderma.
