Overview

The mainstay of treatment for undifferentiated connective tissue disorder is medical therapy. Surgery is rarely needed for patients for surgical biopsy in case of diagnosis.The feasibility of surgery depends on the prognosis at diagnosis.

Indications

  • The mainstay of treatment for undifferentiated connective tissue disorder is medical therapy.
  • Surgery is rarely needed for patients for surgical biopsy in case of diagnosis.[1]

Surgery

  • The feasibility of surgery depends on the prognosis at diagnosis.
