* <spoiler text="What is the CREST syndrome?">Some patients with a milder form of PSS may demonstrate the CREST syndrome. CREST stands for calcinosis, Raynaud’s phenomenon, esophageal dysfunction, sclerodactyly, telangiectasia, and the presence of anticentromere antibodies. These patients usually have less skin involvement of skin, and the more serious visceral problems do not develop until later in the course of the disease.
