Table II.

Distribution of pattern of sclerosis according to morphea subtype. Top heavy is defined as hyalinized collagen bundles exclusively in the papillary/reticular dermis. Bottom heavy was defined as sparing of papillary to mid dermis with hyalinized collagen bundles present in the deep dermis and subcutis. Full thickness was defined as hyalinized collagen bundles throughout the dermis and extending into subcutis. Numbers are presented as frequency and percent in parentheses. Significant associations between sclerosis pattern and subtype are indicated by *.
