| Popis: | Scalp linear scleroderma (LSc) is a subtype of localized scleroderma which typically affects young patients and which can be severely disfiguring. Traditional treatment options include bone grafting or tissue expansion. In this report, we present the case of a patient with scalp LSc successfully treated with scar release, autologous fat grafting, and negative-pressure wound therapy (NPWT). A 55-year-old female, with a history of craniectomy for a benign sellar tumor 10 years previously, developed LSc over the frontal scalp with exposure of titanium plates and screws. She was treated with removal of metalwork, scar release, autologous fat grafting from the abdominal wall and immediate application of NPWT. At 3-month postoperative follow-up, the appearance of the depressed lesion and of its margins had significantly improved. Our experience suggests that the combination of autologous fat grafting and NPWT is an effective treatment modality for scalp LSc. |
