- Abstract
Dear Editor, A 47-year-old female with longstanding morphea presented to our clinic with progressive right forearm cramping pain and weakness after exertion. Physical examination confirmed skin sclerosis overlying the forearm, upper arm, and right shoulder areas. Deep morphea can be associated with subcutaneous tissue atrophy, contractures, and cosmetic sequelae of skin involvement, but significant internal organ involvement is rare.5 To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of unilateral forearm CECS driven by underlying deep morphea, in a nonathlete patient.
