A 48-year-old male developed an induration of the skin of the neck a few days after a blunt trauma to this region had occurred. A diagnosis of scleredema adultorum (Buschke) could be established 3 years later. In view of the history and the lack of other diseases thought to be related to the elicitation of scleredema, a traumatic origin of the skin condition is probable.
