The disease is manifested by telengiectasis in oral mucosa, ear, nasal mucosa, fingertips and finger-beds and recurrent hemorrhage. Epistaxis is among the typical findings of the disease. Coexistence with arterio-venous malformations is common. It may lead to gastrointestinal hemorrhage and neurologic problems due to mucosal telengiectasis. Herein, we presented a case who had recurrent iron deficiency anemia and diagnosed with Osler-Weber-Rendu Syndrome as the result of radiologic and endoscopic examinations performed due to the presence of oral telengiectasis. </span>}, number={1}, publisher={Aile Hekimliği Akademisi Derneği}
