Generalized morphoea successfully treated with salazopyrine.
A patient with active, generalized morphoea was treated successfully with salazopyrine on two occasions. The first time the trunk was involved and most of the skin softened after the drug therapy was started. After salazopyrine was discontinued, morphoea developed in the thighs but recommencement of therapy resulted in complete resolution.
