Caption:

This photograph depicted a frontal view of a seated child, who had been diagnosed with scleroderma. The condition involved his face, the evidence of which could be seen on the child’s left cheek and chin, as the beginnings of an asymmetric facial expression, as the boy had been caught performing a smile. There was also a slight pallor of the left cheek and chin regions as well. The hand of this young patient is depicted in PHIL 21135, which revealed clubbing of his fingers, caused by secondary Raynaud’s syndrome.
