Spider angiomas (SAs) are a well-known physical exam feature found in patients with chronic liver disease. While SAs are thought to correspond with a higher risk of mortality in chronic liver disease (CLD) patients, only few studies have been done to assess the number and location of SAs as prognostic indicators. We present a case of a 64-year-old patient with decompensated CLD who was found to have three SAs on physical exam.

Fewer than 50 cases of HPF have been reported, most at the time of surgery or postmortem with an associated high morbidity and mortality rate. Prenatal diagnosis and optimal management of these rare cases have not been established.
