title: Exudative pleural effusion and pleural leukocytoclastic vasculitis in limited scleroderma.
abstract: Involvement of the lung in scleroderma is common, but pleural effusion and vasculitis are rarely reported in scleroderma. We describe a 43-year-old woman with limited scleroderma who developed an exudative pleural effusion associated with pleural leukocytoclastic vasculitis.
