Abstract
Case 1.— On Jan. 11, 1926, there came to my office a woman, aged 56, whose face was literally studded with telangiectasia, the lesions varying from dots hardly more than 1 mm. in diameter to dusky red patches 4 or 5 mm. in diameter, at the borders of some of which were radiating venules. Some of the lesions presented a fairly uniform color; others consisted of a network of dilated venules; still others were typical spider nevi. Most of the spots were smooth and level with the skin, while others were slightly elevated. Besides the face, the ears and the sides of the neck were affected. There were red spots also on the mucous membranes of the cheeks, gums and hard and soft palate and a very few on the forearms. The rest of the body was free. The nasal mucosa was not examined. Questioning elicited a history of nosebleed
