Resumen:
Scleredema of Buschke is a connective tissue disease of unknown etiology, characterized by an excess of dermal acid mucopolysaccharides. It Is considered an adult disease, but can also occur in children. Clinically it may be preceded by an acute febrile illness, usually infectious. The onset is insidious and gradual, beginning in the neck and spreads to face, shoulder, upper trunk, and arms, producing a diffuse and symmetrical induration of the skin, without edema, with a normal color and woody like on palpation and usually asymptomatic. The differential diagnosis must be made with scleroderma, dermatomyositis, rheumatic fever and other widespread indurations of the skin.
