Parry-Romberg syndrome is a rare neurocutaneous syndrome characterized by slow progressive hemifacial atrophic changes. This report presents a rare case of Parry-Romberg syndrome associated with localized sclerodernia. A 7-year-old female presented with white linear atrophy of the right lower lip and a white spot on the right submaxilla. As the atrophy spread diffusely to the right cheek and submaxilla, the right half of the patient's face became deformed for 5 mollths. In parallel, the white spot lesion multiplied on the right supermaxilla, the right buccal mucosa. and the right side of the tongue. Examination of tissue from the white spot revealed infiltration of inflammatory cells and deposition of collagenous fibers in the dermis, indicating localized scleroderma. Though PRS is a rare syndrome, we should think about association with localized scleroderlna.
