AB A  56-year-old  woman  has  had  recurrent  nosebleeds  starting  in  childhood  and  has  visible  telangiectasias  on  her  lips  and  tongue  (Figure  202-1).  In  early  adulthood,  she  was  diagnosed  with  hereditary  hemorrhagic  telangiectasias  (HHTs)  (Osler-Weber-Rendu  syndrome)  and  was  found  to  have  an  arteriovenous  malformation  (AVM)  in  the  lung  requiring  surgical  resection.  She  has  led  a  normal  productive  life  and  has  two  children  who  have  not  inherited  this  condition.  Her  mom  had  recurrent  epistaxis,  but  never  had  an  AVM.
