Unilateral naevoid telangiectatic syndrome—a study of two cases

Two cases of Unilateral Naevoid Telangiectatic Syndrome (UNTS) are described; in one of them the early follicular phase oestrogen level was elevated. The oestrogen receptor concentration was estimated in skin samples taken from involved and uninvolved sites in both patients. In one patient, receptors were undetectable (< 2 fmol/mg protein) in either involved or uninvolved skin; in the second patient, receptors were again undetectable in uninvolved skin but a trace of receptor activity (6 fmol mg protein) was detected in the involved skin sample.
