AI Article Synopsis
- Two cases of telangiectasia macularis multiplex acquisita (TMMA) were documented in patients with a history of hepatitis B infection.
- Both patients exhibited multiple red spots and dilated blood vessels on their upper arms and upper trunk.
- One patient also displayed additional signs like spider naevi and palmar erythema, suggesting TMMA may be related to vascular changes seen in liver diseases.
Article Abstract
We describe two rarely documented cases of telangiectasia macularis multiplex acquisita (TMMA) with a history of hepatitis B infection. Both patients presented with multiple erythematous macules and telangiectasia on bilateral upper arms and the upper part of the trunk. Patient 1 also had spider naevi on the upper part of the chest and palmar erythema; thus we inferred that TMMA, like spider naevi and palmar erythema, might belong to the spectrum of vascular changes of liver diseases.
