Abstract
We describe a child who initially presented with juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM). Four years after the complete remission of JDM she developed systemic sclerosis without internal organ involvement. She was unresponsive to a combination of systemic corticosteroid therapy and pencillamine. The institution of cyclosporine induced a complete remission.
