- Abstract
The article describes the case of 3-year-old twin girls who presented asymptomatic skin lesions. Topics covered include the findings of the physical and histological examination conducted on the lesions, a diagnosis of hereditary benign telangiectasia (HBT), a rare autosomal dominant genetic disorder, based on cutaneous and histologic features of the lesions, and the significance of the findings on the debate of whether capillary malformation (CM) and HBT constitute two separate disorders.
