Introduction:
Stiff skin syndrome is a rare scleroderma-like disorder, which manifests with non-inflammatory skin fibrosis. The lesions exhibit a stone-like texture, hypertrichosis, and reduced joint mobility.

Material and methods:
A review of the English literature was conducted by searching PubMed and Embase using the key word: stiff skin syndrome. Furthermore, a new case of segmental stiff skin syndrome was identified based on the clinico-pathological correlation.

Results:
This paper summarizes 50 literature reports considering stiff skin syndrome and the authors’ experiences based on the newly reported case.

Conclusions:
Stiff skin syndrome should be considered in patients with early-onset skin fibrosis, hypertrichosis, and joint contractures. While most cases of widespread stiff skin syndrome involve heterozygous FBN1 alterations, the segmental form may constitute a form of cutaneous mosaicism with unknown genetic background.
