	Panniculitis-an unusual cutaneous manifestation of systemic sclerosis.
	Almeida MS, Lima SC, Carvalho LL, Almeida JV, Santos LG, Rolim JR, Rocha TE. J Cutan Pathol. 2010;37(11):1170-3.
	Lipomembranous changes have been seen in connective tissue disorders such as lupus profundus, morphea, systemic sclerosis and panniculitis associated with dermatomyositis, but rarely in thighs, calves, gluteal area and lower abdomen.

	Morphea profunda presenting as a neuromuscular mimic.
	Voermans NC, Pillen S, de Jong EM, Creemers MC, Lammens M, van Alfen N. J Clin Neuromuscul Dis. 2008;9(4):407-14.
	Furthermore, skin changes in morphea profunda differ from those seen in dermatomyositis, and histological features of muscle biopsy can further distinguish between morphea profunda and inflammatory myopathies.

	Linear morphea with secondary cutaneous mucinosis.
	Chun SI, Cho NJ. Am J Dermatopathol. 1992;14(6):546-8.
	Secondary mucinosis is a common finding in connective tissue diseases, especially in lupus erythematosus and dermatomyositis, but is seen only rarely in morphea.
