title: [Detection of pulmonary hypertension in patients with local circumscribed scleroderma].
abstract: In three patients with local circumscribed sclerodermia (duration of the disorder 6 months to 3 years), a latent or manifest pulmonary hypertension of the precapillary type in the presence of otherwise unremarkable lung function, radiological and ergometric data, was observed. The pulmonary involvement in this disease would appear to have a relatively early onset.
