This illness is an autosomal dominant and age-dependent vascular disorder, caracterized by epistaxis, telangiectasias located in specific sites on the skin, and visceral involvement, including arteriovenous malformations in lung, brain and liver or telangiectasias in the gastrointestinal tract. We also present a review of the literature, including etiopathogenia and treatment aspects.
