We report a patient with clinical scleroderma presenting with subacute myopathy with lymphoid follicle on muscle histology. A 29-year-old female with scleroderma confirmed by clinical criteria and skin biopsy, using colchicine, presented with subacute proximal muscle weakness associated with dysphagia and dropped head without CK elevation, but EMG/NCS demonstrated myopathic findings.
