Scleroderma with massive regional lymphadenopathy.
Scleroderma in a two-year-old boy with gross enlargement of the right inguinal lymph nodes, as an early sign, is reported. Repeated lymph node biopsies revealed non-characteristic reactive changes and hyperplasia, but eventually histological examination of skin and muscle from the right leg were diagnostic. The effect of one year of D-penicillamine therapy is briefly mentioned.
