Abstract
Gastrointestinal tract involvement in progressive systemic sclerosis (PSS) is common. A 46 yr old woman with PSS and calcinosis, Raynaud''s phenomenon, esophageal hypomotility, sclerodactyly and telangiectasias with evidence of widespread intestinal tract involvement is described in whom multiple colonic telangiectasis (angiodysplasias) were found on colon-oscopy, a finding not previously reported. The telangiectasias represent a potential cause of gastrointestinal tract bleeding.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
