The two types of systemic scleroderma, limited cutaneous and diffuse cutaneous are classified with focus on the extent of affected skin. A relationship exists between the extent of skin area affected and degree of internal organ/system involvement.

ICD-10 code M34 for Systemic sclerosis [scleroderma] is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue .
Three Types of Systemic Sclerosis (Scleroderma): Limited, Diffuse and Sine. Systemic sclerosis (scleroderma) affects the skin as well as what's underneath, such as blood vessels, muscles and joints, gastrointestinal (GI) tract, kidneys, lungs and heart.
What's the difference between scleroderma and systemic sclerosis? Scleroderma is seen only on the skin. However, when the fibrosis involves your other internal organs, this is considered systemic sclerosis.
There are two major classifications of scleroderma: localized scleroderma and systemic sclerosis (SSc).
Overview. Scleroderma (sklair-oh-DUR-muh), also known as systemic sclerosis, is a group of rare diseases that involve the hardening and tightening of the skin. It may also cause problems in the blood vessels, internal organs and digestive tract.
Scleroderma is a chronic but rare autoimmune disease in which normal tissue is replaced with thick tissue with extra collagen. Although it most often affects the skin, scleroderma also can affect many other parts of the body.
Although both MS and SS are autoimmune disorders, they are distinct conditions. Multiple sclerosis impacts only the central nervous system, which includes the brain and spinal cord. In contrast, SS is a multisystem disease, meaning it can impact multiple areas of the body.
The symptoms involved in CREST syndrome are associated with the generalized form of the disease Systemic sclerosis (scleroderma). CREST is an acronym for the clinical features that are seen in a patient with this disease.
Scleroderma is a disease of unknown origin that affects the microvasculature and loose connective tissues of the body and is characterized by fibrosis and obliteration of vessels in the skin, lungs, gut, kidneys and heart. Morphea is a localized form of scleroderma and affects primarily just the skin.
Scleroderma is caused by the immune system attacking the connective tissue under the skin and around internal organs and blood vessels. This causes scarring and thickening of the tissue in these areas. There are several different types of scleroderma that can vary in severity.
Symptoms of scleroderma may include:Thickening and swelling of the fingers.Pale fingers that may become numb and tingle when exposed to cold or stress, known as Raynaud's phenomenon.Joint pain.Taut, shiny, darker skin on large areas, which can cause problems with movement.More items...
CREST (calcinosis, Raynaud phenomenon, esophageal dysmotility, sclerodactyly, and telangiectasia) syndrome is a member of the heterogeneous group of sclerodermas, and its name is an acronym for the cardinal clinical features of the syndrome. [1, 2]

A type 2 excludes note indicates that the condition excluded is not part of the condition it is excluded from but a patient may have both conditions at the same time. When a type 2 excludes note appears under a code it is acceptable to use both the code ( L97) and the excluded code together.
