Unilateral nevoid telangiectasia syndrome (UNTS) can be classified into two major categories: congenital and acquired. There have been reports showing an increase in skin estrogen and progesterone receptors in patients with this syndrome. We report a male patient with acquired unilateral nevoid telangiectasia syndrome without any associated physiological or pathological conditions.<...

Unilateral Nevoid Telangiectasia Associated with Ipsilateral Melorheostosis

Melorheostosis is a rare disorder characterized by irregular, flowing hyperostosis in long bones, commonly described on radiographs as wax flowing down a candle. In addition to bony sclerosis, cutaneous manifestations overlying the involved bones have been reported including linear scleroderma, neurofibromatosis, and vascular and lymphatic malformations. Unilateral nevoid telangiectasia (UNT) i...
