teleangiectasias = dilated capillaries, due to high estrogen (hyperestrinism)
e.g. in cirrhosis (because the liver in cirrhosis doesn't work as it should, so estrogen degradation doesn't occur thus leading to estrogen concentration increase which causes vascular and other signs like spider naevi, palmar and plantar erythema, digiti Hippocratici, paper money skin...)

A spider nevus consists of a central arteriole with radiating thin-walled vessels (EMedicine)
