Cutaneous collagenous vasculopathy
Synopsis

Individuals present with diffuse telangiectasias, initially on the lower extremities, that progressively spread to the trunk and upper extremities. Lesions typically spare the head and neck, but involvement of these areas has been observed. Telangiectasias are usually asymptomatic, but associated pruritus or pain has been reported. They also characteristically spare the mucosa and nails, but a 2018 case documented recurrent bleeding from gastric mucosal telangiectasias requiring multiple transfusions.
