Abstract
Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia, also known as Osler-Weber-Rendu disease, is an autosomal dominant disorder involving vascular abnormalities of various organs. Telangiectases are frequently observed, predominantly on the nasal and oral mucosa. We present a case a of 53-year-old man with the tonge hemorrhagic telangiectases and epistaxis. Selective catheterization and embolization of the right lingual artery led to size redution and no bleeding from tongue telangiectases.
