Abstract
The aim of this study is to describe the clinical case of a 67-yeart-old man with SROW. At the exploration, multiple telangiectasias can be seen in the facial region, some punctiform in the lobes of both atrial and other linear in the nasogenian area. At the oral level, small telangiectasias are seen on the lip, tongue, palate, gums, and buccal mucosa. It also presents vascular lesions clinically identified as intraoral hemangiomas. According to the literature, epistaxis is the most frequent clinical sign in patients with SROW and the main reason for consultation. It is also frequent the presence of telangiectasias that can be seen mainly on lips (34%), tongue (33%), yugal mucosa (17%), palate (10%) and gums (6%). Dentists may be the first to suspect the condition due to the presence of oral lesions and to help early diagnosis, so they can play a key role in the management of these patients, including multidisciplinary treatment and control due to the different manifestations of this condition entity.
