Unilateral dermatomal superficial telangiectasia.
A new case of unilateral dermatomal superficial telangiectasia (UDST) is described, bringing the number of reported cases to 48. This case is unusual in that there was no underlying systemic disorder and no correlation between the onset of the disease and the physiologic hormonal states that have frequently been reported with the acquired type of UDST. The etiopathogenetic mechanisms of this disorder are discussed.
