Abstract

The overlap syndromes are characterized by the occurrence in the same patient of two or more autoimmune diseases. The overlap syndrome between scleroderma and polymyositis is rare. We describe a case of a 58-year-old woman in which the clinical expression, the effect of therapy and the evolution, support the concept that this syndrome is a distinct clinical entity in the spectrum of autoimmune disease.
