Two-year history of V-neck lesions and hypomyopathic weakness on chronic low-dose methotrexate and prednisone.

Capillaroscopy

Capillaroscopy shows severely reduced capillary density (2.7/mm), architectural disorganization, frequent dilations, giant capillaries, and abnormal/ramified forms (2/3 on the semi-quantitative scale), consistent with a scleroderma-like pattern.
