Frontal linear scleroderma (also known as en coup de sabre or morphea en coup de sabre) is a type of linear scleroderma  characterized by a linear band of atrophy and a furrow in the skin that occurs in the frontal or frontoparietal scalp .Multiple lesions of en coup de sabre may coexist in a single patient.
It gets its name from the perceived similarity to a sabre wound.
