Linear scleroderma en coup de sabre is a rare chronic autoimmune disease. This form of localized scleroderma manifests through an inflammatory phenomenon of collagen overproduction and extracellular matrix destruction, affecting the skin and subcutaneous tissues of the face. This active pathological process is challenging to control and often goes unnoticed at its early stage. The sequelae manifest as an alopecic frontal scar lesion, causing the patient significant aesthetic and psychological damage. In this study, we report two clinical cases in which aesthetic sequelae were treated by autologous fat transplantation. We found encouraging results, with a global aesthetic improvement of 86.2% measured by a jury of medical specialists and outcome stability through a nine-year follow-up for one patient. Autologous fat transfer is excellent for treating stabilized en coup de sabre morphea, not only for its filling abilities but also for its regeneration activating and inflammation regulating abilities, which could open new prospects for curative treatment of this pathology.
线状硬皮病军刀砍伤样型是一种罕见的慢性自身免疫性疾病。这种局限性硬皮病通过胶原蛋白过度产生和细胞外基质破坏的炎症现象表现出来,影响面部皮肤和皮下组织。这种活跃的病理过程难以控制,在早期往往未被注意到。后遗症表现为前额脱发瘢痕病变,给患者造成严重的美学和心理损害。在本研究中,我们报告了两例通过自体脂肪移植治疗美学后遗症的临床病例。我们发现了令人鼓舞的结果,由医学专家评审团评估的整体美学改善率为86.2%,并且对一名患者进行了九年随访,结果稳定。自体脂肪移植对于治疗稳定期的军刀砍伤样硬斑病非常有效,不仅因其填充能力,还因其激活再生和调节炎症的能力,这可能为这种疾病的治疗开辟新的前景。
