Unilateral multisegmental morphea.

Abstract

There are 5 subtypes of morphea that are based on disease distribution and presentation, including plaque, localized, generalized, linear, and deep morphea.

We report a case of a young patient with morphea lesions in scattered locations confined to 1 side of the body, which we have termed unilateral multisegmental morphea.
