[Osler--Rendu Disease: an example of a family clustering in a genetic disorder].

The case of a 75 years old woman with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) is presented. This condition is an autosomal dominant mucocutaneous and visceral fibrovascular dysplasia in which telangiectasia, arteriovenous malformations and aneurysms may be widely distributed throughout the cardiovascular system. It is usually recognized as a "triad" of telangiectasia, recurrent epistaxis and a family history of the disorder.
