Juvenile Localized Scleroderma with Hyaline Deposits in the Renal Arteriole

摘要

We report a 10-year-old boy with localized scleroderma of the linear and plaque type, who showed proteinuria and hematuria. In this patient, skin, articular, and renal manifestations appeared successively and then began to resolve in the same order. A renal biopsy specimen demonstrated mild mesangial cell proliferation, exudate of immunoglobulin in the glomerular capillary, and large electron-dense deposits in the afferent arteriole. We consider that there were some transient factors that had caused the skin and articular manifestations, which also induced renal vascular inflammatory responses.
