Popis: Scleroderma is divided into circumscribed and diffuse types, the latter was designated as progressive systemic sclerosis. The prognosis of this disease is poor due to the internal organs being affected. In 1942 Klemperer established that progressive systemic sclerosis fell into the collagen disease category.This paper reports a case of a 40-year-old woman accompanied by several oral findings. This case had Raynaud's phenomenon, sclerodactylia and facies sclerodermatica as general findings and ankyloglossia, trismus, smooth tongue, resorption of the alveolar bone and denture fibroma as oral findings.The laboratory findings showed an increase in n-RNP-antibody, IgA and IgG.
