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.
