Popis: Keloidal scleroderma is a variant of scleroderma that presents as firm keloidal nodules or plaques. Due to the similarity in morphology and pathology, it is often distinguished from a hypertrophic scar or keloid. We report a case of keloidal scleroderma with rare nodular and diffuse spindle cell infiltration in histopathology. Recognition of this unusual histopathological feature may help clinicians improve their knowledge and avoid misdiagnosis.
