Morphea on the breast after a needle biopsy

Ann Dermatol. 2011 Dec;23(Suppl 3):S408-10. doi: 10.5021/ad.2011.23.S3.S408. Epub 2011 Dec 27.

Abstract

Localized scleroderma (morphea) usually develops spontaneously, but the precise mechanisms underlying disease development are obscure. However, a significant number of cases suggest that morphea is induced by external stimuli. Herein, we report a case of morphea that developed after a needle biopsy.

Keywords: Morphea; Needle biopsy.
