Implication

May prompt histopathologic consideration in unexplained multiorgan ischemia; leaves open nosologic classification and targeted therapies.

Key Points

To describe generalized capillary and arteriolar thrombosis in two clinically distinct patients and evaluate their shared pathological features alongside existing vascular disease literature.
Conducted clinical examinations and post-mortem histopathological evaluations of two patients (N=2) presenting with diffuse microvascular lesions.
Synthesized findings with historical literature on atypical verrucous endocarditis, lupus erythematosus, and terminal arteriolar hyaline thrombosis.
Histopathology revealed widespread, occlusive hyaline thrombosis consistently localized to the terminal arterioles and capillary beds.
Both patients shared nearly identical microvascular pathology despite displaying completely distinct clinical signs and illness progressions.

Structured PICO
