BACKGROUND: The Osler-Weber-Rendu syndrome (hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia) is an autosomal dominant disorder of blood vessels associated with mucocutaneous telangiectasis and arteriovenous malformations of internal organs. CASE: A 23-year-old woman was found on routine gynecologic examination to have asymptomatic vaginal telangiectasias, a previously unreported initial site of involvement in this syndrome. CONCLUSION: The finding of asymptomatic vaginal telangiectasias on routine pelvic examination should alert the clinician to the possibility of the Osler-Weber-Rendu syndrome. |
