Unilateral nevoid telangiectasia is a rare vascular dermatosis, characterized by areas of superficial telangiectases distributed in a linear unilateral pattern. It was described in 1899 by Zeisler and Blascko. Several theories where developed in order to explain its etiopathogenesis. The most widely accepted is the one which establishes its probable association with an increase in the estrogen levels. There are two types: congenital and acquired. The latter is associated with hepatopathies in male patients. The acquired form is rarely observed in healthy men, with a few cases reported in the medical literature, and its etiology is unknown. This study reports the case of a healthy young man with acquired unilateral nevoid telangiectasia, without any comorbidities, clinical and /or laboratory findings indicative of hyperestrogenism. Keywords: Estrogens; Liver Diseases; Telangiectasis Resumo: A Telangiectasia Nevoide Unilateral é uma dermatose vascular rara, caracterizada por áreas de telangiectasia superficial, em uma distribuição linear unilateral, descrita, em 1899, por Zeisler e Blaschko. Diversas teorias foram desenvolvidas para explicar sua etiopatogenia, sendo a provável (e a mais fundamentada) a relação com elevação dos níveis de estrogênio. Há duas formas: a congênita e a adquirida. Esta, geralmente, se relaciona a hepatopatias, em pacientes do sexo masculino. Em homens hígidos, a ocorrência da forma adquirida é rara, com poucos relatos na literatura, sendo sua causa desconhecida. Este trabalho tem como objetivo relatar um caso de telangiectasia nevoide unilateral adquirida em homem jovem, sem comorbidades, alterações clínicas e/ou laboratoriais sugestivas de hiperestrogenismo. Palavras-chave: Estrogênios; Hepatopatias; Telangiectasia INTRODUÇÃOUnilateral nevoid telangiectasia is a rare vascular dermatosis, characterized by areas of superficial telangiectases distributed in a linear unilateral pattern, described in 1899 by Zeisler e Blaschko.1 Since then, less than a 100 cases have been described in the medical literature 2 . Several theories were developed in order to explain its etiopathogenesis. The most widely accepted is the one which establishes its probable association with an increase in the estrogen levels. There are two types: congenital and acquired. The first is prevalent in men through dominant autosomal inheritance and the second in women, in association with physiological and pathological conditions of hyperestrogenism. 1The acquired type, in male patients, is generally related to hepatopathies . The occurrence of this type among healthy men is rare and its cause remains unknown.
