Abstract
Scleroderma is a rare connective tissue disease, clinically characterised by sclerosis of skin and maybe sometimes associated with variable systemic involvement. Two categories of scleroderma are known: systemic sclerosis, characterized by cutaneous sclerosis and visceral involvement, and localized scleroderma or morphea which classically presents with benign and self-limited evolution and is confined to the skin and/or underlying tissues. It is a rare disease of unknown aetiology. Treatment should be started early, before complications occur due to the high morbidity of localized scleroderma. In this review, we report a rare case of morphea involving genital area in pregnancy and its impact on the mode of delivery.
