ABSTRACT:

Linear morphea is a morphological variant of morphea. It typically occurs in children . Linear morphea most often affects the lower extremities, upper extremities, frontal portion of the head, and anterior trunk. Linear morphea, includes the trunk/limb, en coup de sabre(ECDS), and Parry-Romberg variants The etiology of linear morphea is unclear but may be autoimmune in origin. Current evidence supports first-line treatment with methotrexate and oral glucocorticoids followed by mycophenolate mofetil and phototherapy.
