Ovarian cancer and unilateral naevoid telangiectasia: a rare association

The Authors describe the case of a 58-year-old woman affected by erythematous telangiectasis lesions on the antero-lateral surface of the right hip during papillary serous cystoadenocarcinoma of the right ovary. The diagnosis, based on clinical and histological findings, was unilateral naevoid telangiectasia. After a review of literature the Authors assume a possible role of the oestrogens in the pathogenesis of such infrequent disease.
