The word telangiectasia is derived from tel- end, angos- vessels and ectasis- dilatation. Telangiectasia can be primary or secondary. Connective tissue diseases like systemic sclerosis, dermatomyositis and systemic lupus erythematosus may be associated with secondary telangiectasias. Systemic sclerosis presents with mat-like telangiectasias over face, hands and rarely oral mucosa. The present study discusses a case of extensive oral telangiectasias without significant sclerosis over face.
