It is anuncommon instance of multiple autoimmune illnesses in which SSc developsgradually after the birth of the first child and the patient had Graves' disease sincethe age of 17 and had thyroid ablation 5 years ago. SSc illness has a characteristicclinical appearance, involving the skin to the rest of the body and internal organs,particularly the lungs.
