Diffuse fasciitis (DF) shares clinical and pathologic features with systemic (SS) and localized scleroderma. The distinct pathologic feature in DF is involvement of the deep fascia, but it is not known if these changes consistently occur in SS. In this study, ten patients with SS underwent deep biopsies for evaluation of the fascia. All cases showed typical dermal histologic findings of scleroderma, and five cases showed thickening and fibrosis of the fascia. This study provides evidence that fascial involvement is not distinctive of DF but may occur in SS. It appears that thickening of the fascia is another morphologic feature shared between DF and SS.
弥漫性筋膜炎（DF）与系统性硬化症（SS）和局限性硬皮病具有临床和病理特征。DF的独特病理特征是深筋膜受累，但尚不清楚这些变化是否在SS中持续出现。在本研究中，10例SS患者接受了深筋膜活检以评估筋膜情况。所有病例均显示硬皮病典型的皮肤组织学表现，5例显示筋膜增厚和纤维化。本研究提供了证据，表明筋膜受累并非DF所特有，也可能发生在SS中。看来筋膜增厚是DF和SS共有的另一个形态学特征。
