Hereditary Benign Telangiectasia: Punctate Telangiectasia Surrounded by Anemic Halo

Hereditary benign telangiectasia (HBT) is a primary telangiectatic disorder, characterized by the presence of telangiectasias with different morphological features (lineal, punctiform, arborescent, reticulated, or in plaques) on the face, neck, upper trunk, and extremities.¹ The mucosae are not affected, and there is no systemic involvement.¹ Because it is an autosomal dominant disorder, lesions are usually present in several members of a single family.¹
