Cover image: This image won first place in the 2002 American College of Rheumatology slide contest. Endoscopy demonstrates an array of linear striping resembling the appearance of a watermelon in the stomach of a 53-year-old man with diffuse scleroderma. Vascular ectasia is responsible for this appearance. The condition is often complicated by upper gastrointestinal bleeding.
