Hydroxychloroquine Combined With Superficial X-ray --A New Therapeutic Method In The Treatment Of Morphea Profunda.

Morphea profunda (MP) is a variant of morphea that presents clinically as localized fibrotic plaques. Based on previous reports, there was no unified standard treatment for MP. Here we report a rare case of MP, which is the first report about treatment by hydroxychloroquine in combination with superficial X-ray. Compared with other regular therapeutic methods, this method not only produced a positive clinical effect in a short amount of time, but also caused fewer side effects.
