Abstract
We report a 57-year-old woman with systemic sclerosis (SSc) who died suddenly, following a haemoptysis. At post-mortem, systemic necrotizing angiitis of small vessels was observed in several organs. Necrotizing angiitis has been reported as a rare complication of systemic sclerosis, and is usually lethal.
