Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a chronic multisystem disease characterized by excess deposition of connective tissue in skin and internal organs, associated with microvasculature changes and immunologic abnormalities. We hereby report a case of scleroderma in a 52 year old female with classical clinical and histopathological findings. The latter part of this article discusses and reviews existing and novel emerging therapies for the treatment of SSc, with an emphasis on recent trials targeting the cutaneous and pulmonary manifestations of this disease.
