    Abstract

    INTRODUCTION:

    Familial occurrence of progressive systemic sclerosis is unusual. The occurrence of conjugal scleroderma is exceptional.

    EXEGESIS:

    We report here a case of systemic sclerosis in a wife and husband who both developed the onset of illness within a 10-year period. Solvent exposure was noted.

    CONCLUSION:

    The etiology of systemic sclerosis remains unknown. Environmental factors may play role in its pathogenesis.
