Scleroderma is a rare disorder of unknown etiology. Circumscribed scleroderma is a localized focal form. It may present as well defined elevated or depressed white or yellowish patches termed "morphea," or linear bands made up of a furrow with elevated ridges on the margins described as "coup de sabre." The oral-facial characteristics of circumscribed scleroderma in a ten year old afflicted female are described in detail.
