Mixed Connective Tissue Disease with an Unclassifiable Scleroderma-Like Pattern
Capillaroscopy shows megacapillaries, but their distribution does not fit the typical organization of any early, active, or late Cutolo subtype. The overall morphology is therefore classified as a scleroderma-like pattern. Arborizing capillaries are also evident. The quantitative dataset reports a mean capillary density of 5.69/mm, enlarged capillaries in 78.7%, megacapillaries in 6.0%, and ramified forms in 4.7%.
Recorded measurements
- Capillary density
- 5.73capillaries/mm
- Enlarged capillaries
- 80.16%
- Giant capillaries
- 5.45%
- Hemorrhages
- 0.02/mm
Values from the saved analysis: density and hemorrhages per total analyzed length; percentages of the total capillary count. These are not measurements of an individual image and may differ from averages across fields.

Irregular and branching forms in the anti-RNP-positive mixed connective tissue disease case. The source report describes a scleroderma-like pattern without an assignable Cutolo subtype.
