Renal disease in systemic sclerosis may present in various patterns. A 66-year-old woman with a history of longstanding limited cutaneous systemic sclerosis of the CREST syndrome variant presented with a sudden left foot drop and rapidly progressive renal insufficiency associated with mild proteinuria, a nephritic urine sediment, and a urinary output of 900 mL/d. There was no history of intake of D-penicillamine, and there were no signs of malignant arterial hypertension or microangiopathic hemolytic anemia. Renal histology showed a small vessel vasculitis of the microscopic polyangiitis type. Serologic tests showed a marked increase of antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies with a perinuclear pattern and an elevated titer of antimyeloperoxidase antibodies. No clinical or laboratory signs of Sjögren's syndrome were present. This clinical report adds new information to the spectrum of renal disease in systemic sclerosis. It discusses the association between systemic sclerosis and small vessel vasculitis of the microscopic polyangiitis type as well as the possible meaning of serologic markers.
