Abstract

We report a case of systemic sclerosis associated with Buerger’s disease in a 43-year-old man. His clinical symptoms included proximal scleroderma, sclerodactylia, gangrene, pitting scar, cyanosis and petechiae. He also demonstrated antinuclear and anti-Scl-70 antibodies. A biopsy specimen from the right third finger and forearm showed a proliferation of collagen fibers. He was diagnosed to have systemic sclerosis. The peripheral artery was suspected of being affected due to the rapid progression of gangrene in one finger. Angiography revealed a closing of the right ulnar artery. A diagnosis of Buerger’s disease was thus made. This is the third report of systemic sclerosis associated with Buerger’s disease in Japan.
