Telangiectasia a stable dilation of superficial blood vessels, principally capillaries, of the skin and mucous membranes. The condition may be acquired, but it is usually congenital and is often hereditary. Telangiectases are bluish red spots of varying shapes that generally appear on the face or shins. They may bleed if situated on the mucous membranes of the upper respiratory tract or alimentary canal. Telangiectasia is treated by electrocoagulation or cryotherapy. telangiectasiaenUK

Often incorrectly called ‘broken veins’. Telangiectasia may be present from birth but may be caused by undue exposure to sunlight or may be a feature of ROSACEA, PSORIASIS, LUPUS ERYTHEMATOSUS and DERMATOMYOSITIS.TelangiectasiaAbnormal dilation of capillary blood vessels leading to the formation of telangiectases or angiomas.Mentioned in: Ataxia-Telangiectasia, RosaceatelangiectasiaA dilatation of small blood vessels (arterioles, capillaries, venules), often multiple in character. Telangiectasias create small red lesions, sometimes spidery in appearance, usually in the skin or mucous membranes, which blanch on pressure. They can develop into naevus flammeus ('port-wine stain'), a birthmark found usually on the head or neck.
