SUMMARY:
Systemic sclerosis is a multisystemic disease characterized by generalized vascular dysfunction and
progressive fibrosis of the skin and internal organs. Two distinct clinical subsets of systemic sclerosis are
traditionally recognized according to the degree of skin involvement: Limited cutaneous systemic
sclerosis and diffuse cutaneous systemic sclerosis. We report the case of a 52 years old patient with
CREST syndrome, non-productive cough, dysphonia, and weight loss. The physical examination shows
thickened and tense skin in distal extremities, sclerodactyly, calcinosis cutis, telangiectasias and
microstomia. Pulmonary fibrosis was found in chest computed tomography, endoscopy shows
Recibido el 19/10/17 esophagitis, vocal cord paralysis was found in the laryngoscopy and anti Scl-70 positive. Because it is
not a common disease, the authors decided to carry out the present report to share these findings
with the medical community.
