Traditionally, it hasn't been thought possible to discriminate between localized scleroderma (morphea) and systemic disease on the basis of a skin biopsy. To test this hypothesis, investigators retrospectively reviewed histologic sections from 32 patients with localized disease and 19 with systemic disease. The observers …
