Özet
Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) is a rare autosomal dominant inherited disorder. The typical findings of the disease are telangiectasias in skin and mucous membranes, and arteriovenous malformations and aneurysyms presenting in the organs like brain, lung, intestine and liver. A wide variety of clinical manifestations in HHT have been described. The most common symptom is epistaxis. Telangiectasias and visceral organ involvements occur later. We report a case of hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia with typical skin lesions and visceral organ involvement.
