Abstract: A 63-year-old woman with systemic sclerosis (SSc) exhibited progression of bone resorption in the distal phalanges (acro-osteolysis). This case underscores the importance of adequately managing Raynaud phenomenon, as it alone can drive the progression of acro-osteolysis in patients with long-standing SSc.
