Abstract

Five men with progressive systemic sclerosis presented with impotence as a significant initial feature of their disease. Endocrine, urologic, and psychiatric evaluations failed to reveal another cause for impotence. We suggest that male erectile dysfunction represents another manifestation of systemic sclerosis. Possible mechanisms for this phenomenon are discussed.
