title: Treatment of atrophies secondary to trilinear scleroderma en coup de sabre by autologous tissue cocktail injection.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  The atrophies are left after regression of linear scleroderma "en coup de sabre." They are often irreversible and disfiguring. Several surgical techniques have been attempted to correct atrophies secondary to linear scleroderma en coup de sabre. However, the result often has proved unsatisfactory.
  
  
  METHODS
  A patient with atrophies secondary to trilinear scleroderma en coup de sabre was treated with autologous tissue cocktail injection.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Autologous tissue cocktail injection provided excellent cosmetic results for the treatment of atrophies secondary to trilinear scleroderma en coup de sabre. There were no complications at the donor and recipient site in the postoperative period.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Autologous tissue cocktail injection appears to be a useful method for the correction of depressed atrophy of linear scleroderma en coup de sabre.
