. Scleroderma in a two‐year‐old boy with gross enlargement of the right inguinal lymph nodes, as an early sign, is reported. Repeated lymph node biopsies revealed non‐characteristic reactive changes and hyperplasia, but eventually histological examinations of skin and muscle from the right leg were diagnostic. The effect of one year of D‐penicillamine therapy is briefly mentioned.
