We report four cases of scleroderma and intestinal perforation. There were three instances of colonic perforations, two associated with fecal impaction and stercoral ulceration and one with evidence of vasculitis. The fourth patient was an unusual instance of spontaneous perforation of the small intestine in scleroderma.
