Sažetak
Systemic sclerosis most commonly occurs in middle-aged patients. Younger or older people are rarely affected. It is very rare in people over the age of 80. In older patients, different clinical and laboratory characteristics of the disease, as well as a different therapeutic response are expected, in comparison to younger patients. Therefore, we present the case of an 84-year-old patient with systemic sclerosis, as well as a literature review in relation to this topic.
