 AB    Telangiectases have been noted as a cutaneous manifestation of the
       acquired immunodeficiency syndrome and are characteristically
       distributed across the upper chest in a crescentic pattern between the
       clavicles. We describe the observation of diffuse upper body
       telangiectasia in a forty-seven-year-old, human immunodeficiency
       virus-seropositive man. Histopathologic examination revealed dermal
       telangiectasia with perivascular plasma cells. Although we are aware of
       the association between telangiectases and human immunodeficiency virus
       seropositive findings, we believe that this is the first documented
       observation of diffuse upper body telangiectasia in a human
       immunodeficiency virus-seropositive patient.
