Late SSc Cutolo Pattern: Representative Case

Systemic Sclerosis Late Cutolo SSc Pattern Severe

Complete capillaroscopy study dominated by capillary loss, architectural disorganization, and abnormal neoangiogenic shapes.

Author Gema María Lledó Ibáñez

Clinical context

In late Cutolo SSc, fewer classic giant capillaries may coexist with more advanced microvascular damage and remodeling.

Capillaroscopy

The study shows severe capillary rarefaction, avascular areas, disorganization, and ramified or highly abnormal capillaries.

Key Capillaroscopic Findings

Severe capillary loss and avascular areas
Marked architectural disorganization
Ramified or abnormal neoangiogenic capillaries
