Rapid response to abatacept in treatment-resistant pansclerotic morphoea

Morphoea is a spectrum of disorders characterized by inflammation and sclerosis of the skin and potentially underlying tissues. There are no specific licensed treatments for morphoea and prospective studies on commonly used therapies are lacking. We describe a case of progressive, recalcitrant pansclerotic morphoea with a rapid response to abatacept.
