Systemic sclerosis and regional enteritis occurring simultaneously.

Abstract

A 58-year-old white female who had regional enteritis for many years insidiously developed scleroderma. A review of the literature failed to reveal any previous reports of this combination of diseases. The possible etiologies of both diseases are discussed along with their overlapping clinical manifestations.
