We describe a man with acquired unilateral nevoid telangiectasia syndr ome, in whom no underlying disease, alcohol abuse or physiological con ditions causing hormonal changes are demonstrable. To our knowledge, t his is the first case of acquired unilateral nevoid telangiectasia syn drome seen in a healthy adult male and not associated with a hyperestr ogenaemic state and estrogen receptor abnormality. This case report ca sts doubt on the commonly held view that unilateral nevoid telangiecta sia syndrome is an estrogen-sensitive nevoid anomaly.
