ABSTRACT
Scleredema adultorum of Buschke is an important differential diagnosis in sclerosing diseases. Diagnosis is based on the typical histology with mucin deposits and grossly increased dermal width and a clinical presentation of diffuse non-pitting induration of the skin starting at the nape of the neck and interscapular region extending to shoulders and upper thorax, causing dysmobility due to dermal stiffness. Even though the pathogenesis remains unclear, three subtypes can be distinguished association with infections, paraproteins, or most frequently with diabetes mellitus. Management of the disease includes physiotherapy, physical therapies such as ultraviolet (UV) or ionizing irradiation, intravenous immunoglobulins and interdisciplinary treatment directed at associated diseases. Optimizing diabetes therapy and thereby decreasing insulin use may confer significant improvement.
