title: Generalized essential telangiectasia: a case report and review of the literature.
abstract: Generalized essential telangiectasia (GET) is a well-established but seldom reported disorder. Patients with this condition develop widespread telangiectasias for no known reason. Although the condition can be cosmetically and psychologically devastating, it fortunately is not associated with other diseases or complications. Treatment can be difficult and expensive, but the therapeutic benefit of providing patients with a name and prognosis for their disease cannot be overemphasized.
