title: Localized facial telangiectasias following frostbite injury.
abstract: Two patients presented with localized facial telangiectasias a consequence of superficial frostbite injury. Trauma from frostbite resulted in the permanent formation of these telangiectasias. We review the morphology of the different degrees of frostbite and discuss the involvement of angiogenesis as a response to tissue insult.
