AB Juvenile  scleroderma  syndromes  are  multisystem  autoimmune  rheumatic  diseases  whose  unifying  characteristic  is  the  development  of  hard  skin  before  age  16.  They  can  be  separated  into  two  main  categories:  those  with  diffuse  skin  sclerosis  involving  many  sites  of  the  body  together  with  internal  organ  involvement  (juvenile  systemic  sclerosis  [JSSc])  and  those  with  circumscribed  skin  induration  but  no  vascular  or  internal  organ  involvement  (juvenile  localized  scleroderma  [JLS]).
