Figure 8

8 year old girl with linear scleroderma of her lower leg with a four year history of active disease. A single rather than dual screen image was obtained to allow measurement of lesion size. The boundaries of the area of complete loss of hypodermal fat were identified directly on the viewing monitor, with cursors placed at boundary points to determine the width of the area of fat loss (3.79 cm). B = bone, D = dermis, H = hypodermis, and M = muscle. Arrowheads indicate boundaries of merged dermis and hypodermis, while arrows indicate boundaries of hypodermis and muscle.
