A case of a patient who had colonic obstruction caused by scleroderma is described. The obstruction initially was treated by means of a colostomy, and later subtotal colectomy was carried out. This is the fifth report of a patient with symptomatic colonic scleroderma successfully treated by colonic resection. A review of colonic scleroderma is included. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
