A case of generalized morphea complicated by autoimmune hepatitis

Morphea, also known as localized scleroderma, is a fibrosing disorder of the skin and underlying tissues. Morphea is differentiated from systemic sclerosis based on the absence of sclerodactyly, Raynaud’s phenomenon, and nail fold capillary changes [1]. It is mainly classified into five groups: plaque, generalized, bullous, linear, and deep [2]. With certain exceptions, it produces no serious systemic complications but is sometimes associated with autoimmune disorders, such as Hashimoto thyroiditis, rheumatoid arthritis, and alopecia areata [3]. Herein, we report a case of generalized morphea (GM) complicated by autoimmune hepatitis (AIH).
