Case Reports[Chronic anaemia in a patient with hereditary haemorrhagic telangiectasia and juvenile gastric polyposis].
A 52-year-old woman with chronic anaemia presented with recurrent epistaxis, telangiectasias and haemangiomas, suggesting the presence of hereditary haemorrhagic telangiectasia (Osler-Rendu-Weber disease). Moreover, previous investigations had also shown multiple polyps of the stomach. ⋯ The association of hereditary haemorrhagic telangiectasia and juvenile polyposis, as seen in this patient, has been reported repeatedly. A diagnosis of one of the described entities should initiate the screening for evidence of the other one to prevent (life-threatening) complications.
