RESUMO
La esclerosis sistémica sine esclerodermia (ESse) es una forma de esclerosis sistémica caracterizada por fenómeno de Raynaud (FR), afección visceral sin endurecimiento de la piel y anticuerpos anti-centrómeros (AAC). Se estudiaron a 10 pacientes con ESse, con prevalencia del 2%. Manifestaciones clínicas: FR 9/10, esofágica 8/10, hipertensión arterial pulmonar 4/10, neumopatía intersticial 4/10, cardiaca 3/10 y AAC 8/10. Conclusión: En pacientes con FR, dismotilidad esofágica, neumopatía intersticial e hipertensión arterial pulmonar se debe investigar AAC y establecer un diagnóstico y tratamiento oportuno de ESse
Systemic sclerosis sine scleroderma (ssSSc) is a form of systemic sclerosis that is characterized by Raynaud's phenomenon (RP), visceral involvement without thickening of skin and anticentromere antibodies (ACA). We studied 10 ssSsc patients with a prevalence of 2%. The clinical signs were: RP 9/10, esophageal manifestations 8/10, pulmonary arterial hypertension 4/10, interstitial lung disease 4/10, cardiac signs 3/10 and ACA 8/10. Conclusion: In patients with RP, esophageal dysmotility, interstitial lung disease and pulmonary arterial hypertension should be tested for ACA in order to establish a prompt diagnosis and treatment of ssSSc
