Comedo naevus of which there are few cases in the literature are undoubtedly frequent, and pass unnoticed, as they are easily confused with furunculosis.

We present four observations of unilateral nevoid telangiectasia syndrome, pointing out its common cervicothoracic distribution and its relation with hyper-estrogenic conditions, both physiological (puberty, pregnancy, use of contraceptive pills), and pathologic (post-alcoholic hepatic cirrhosis). We also comment on its differential diagnosis with similar diseases. A study of estrogenic receptors in the affected skin was carried out, thus supplying further data for the ethiopathogenesis of the process.
