Both of these terms accurately describe the ultimate effects of thickening of the skin due to swelling and thickening of the underlying connective tissue... The actual cause is unknown, but vascular, endocrine and autoimmune factors have been suspected. 3, record 1, English, - scleroderma

La sclérodermie est une maladie rare [...] qui affecte essentiellement la peau, mais aussi, dans sa forme généralisée ou systémique, les organes interne (rein, cœur, poumons, etc...) [...] Le terme «sclérodermie» décrit assez bien en lui seul le principal signe ou symptôme de la maladie. Du grec «skleros» : dur et «derma» : peau, sclérodermie signifie donc «durcissement de la peau». 1, record 1, French, - scl%C3%A9rodermie
