Non-Specific Pattern: Representative Case

Non-Specific Microangiopathy Non-Specific Pattern Mild

Complete capillaroscopy study with preserved density, mild morphologic changes, and hemorrhages without giant capillaries.

Author Miguel Martín Cascón

Clinical context

This example highlights how hemorrhages or mild morphologic variation can be abnormal without forming a reproducible scleroderma pattern.

Capillaroscopy

The study shows preserved density, around 8.8 capillaries/mm, scattered dilated or tortuous loops, and hemorrhages around 0.46/mm, with no giant capillaries and no Cutolo SSc pattern.

Key Capillaroscopic Findings

Preserved capillary density, around 8.8/mm
Hemorrhages are present, around 0.46/mm
No giant capillaries; mild dilation and tortuosity without SSc pattern
