Comments:
Linear morphea may cause atrophy of the underlying skeletal muscles and even bone causing severe contractures and limb deformities.

The photograph shows severe unilateral deformity of lower extremity in a 16 y/o with untreated morphea. The patient was not treated during active disease due to disseminated tuberculosis. Image courtesy of: Josette McMichael, MD; Atlanta, Georgia, USA.
