Abstract:
A 43-year-old woman presented with a 1-year history of telangiectatic lesions on her lower legs. The lesions progressively spread to involve her thighs and left arm. She had no family or personal history of recurrent haemorrhage or telangiectases. Her general health was unaffected. The diagnosis of generalized essential telangiectasia was made on the basis of clinical presentation and investigations. Generalized essential telangiectasia is a rare condition that can only be diagnosed if other primary and secondary telangiectasias are excluded. It is probably under-reported, with patients mistakenly diagnosed with atypical hereditary haemorrhagic telangiectasia.
