    TLDR The condition might be caused by genetic changes after birth.
    The document described a rare case of double-lined frontoparietal scleroderma en coup de sabre and discussed its distribution following the lines of Blaschko. It also presented a genetic hypothesis suggesting that the condition might be due to a mosaic state induced by postzygotic mosaicism, where the patient has a mosaic state for genes predisposing them to linear scleroderma.
