Erratum
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.
