Scleroderma-like skin indurations in a child with phenylketonuria: a clinicopathologic correlation and review of the literature

M P Nova et al. J Am Acad Dermatol. 1992 Feb.

Abstract

Scleroderma-like skin lesions are one sequela of phenylketonuria. We describe a child with phenylketonuria and associated dermal connective tissue changes consistent with early inflammatory scleroderma. The severity of the skin lesions apparently waned with dietary restriction of phenylalanine.
