Telangiectasia macularis multiplex acquisita accompanied by hepatitis B infection.
We describe two rarely documented cases of telangiectasia macularis multiplex acquisita (TMMA) with a history of hepatitis B infection. Both patients presented with multiple erythematous macules and telangiectasia on bilateral upper arms and the upper part of the trunk. Patient 1 also had spider naevi on the upper part of the chest and palmar erythema; thus we inferred that TMMA, like spider naevi and palmar erythema, might belong to the spectrum of vascular changes of liver diseases.
