Vesical telangiectasias as a cause of macroscopic hematuria in systemic sclerosis

Clin Exp Rheumatol. 2001 Jan-Feb;19(1):93-4.

Abstract

A 36-year-old female with diffuse cutaneous systemic sclerosis (dcSSc) developed macrohematuria due to vesical telangiectasias that was responsive to diathermocoagulation of the vasal lesions. This is the first report of a patient with dcSSc and vesical telangiectasias leading to severe macrohematuria that was successfully treated with diathermocoagulation.
