Morphea (localized scleroderma or limited cutaneous scleroderma) was classified by Peterson et al into 5 categories.
Categories of morphea:
(1) plaque
(2) generalized (multiple indurated plaques)
(3) bullous
(4) linear
(5) deep (deep dermis and subcutaneous tissues)
Linear morphea involving the face includes:
(1) en coup de saber
(2) progressive facial hemiatrophy
If more than one type is present then the term mixed morphea is used.
