Several occupational hazards, especially exposure to silica, have been implicated
as causal factors for the development of scleroderma-like disorders. Compared to
other connective tissue disorders, silica-associated systemic sclerosis (SA-SS)
is relatively rare. Silica-induced scleroderma is indistinguishable from
idiopathic systemic sclerosis. However, the former expresses a high
predisposition of pulmonary involvement and anti-Scl-70 antibody. We report the
case of a 42-year-old male, stone cutter by occupation, who was diagnosed as
simple chronic silicosis and developed systemic sclerosis.
