Abstract
Familial occurrence of scleroderma is rare and concordance for the disease in twins has been reported exceptionally. We describe 2 female identical twin pairs concordant for scleroderma. The first twin pair was diagnosed with the systemic form of scleroderma, the second pair with the localized form.
