Anti-TIF1γ dermatomyositis: complex vascular shapes
Complex, winding and ramified vascular forms in the anti-TIF1γ dermatomyositis case. A scleroderma-like image appearance does not establish systemic sclerosis.
Source study context
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.
Measurements and classification refer to the described study or visit; they are not new measurements of this image.
