Title Of Article :
Osler-Weber-Rendu syndrome: A case report
Abstract :
Osler-Weber-Rendu (Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia) is an autosomal dominant disease characterized by telangiectasia on mucosa and skin and arteriovenous malformations in visceral organs. Telangiectasia on lips, tongue, ear, nasal mucosa, palmoplantar region and nail beds are typical findings in the disease. Visceral arteriovenous malformations are common in patients who have visceral involvements. Our case was 34 years old woman presented with hemangioma on her right side of face and lips, telangiectasia on oral mucosa and arteriovenous malformation in her lower lobe of left lung. Diagnosis was Osler-Weber-Rendu disease. We decided to report this case because it is rarely seen and arteriovenous malformation was present in the lung of the patient.
