Abstract
Familial occurrence of scleroderma is rare and concordance for the disease
in twins has been reported exceptionally. We describe 2 female identical tw
in pairs concordant for scleroderma. The first twin pair was diagnosed with
the systemic form of scleroderma, the second pair with the localized form.
