We reviewed cases with Rendu-Osler disease or hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) between 1976 and 1989 in our area of internal medicine. Of the ten reported cases, six presented severe iron deficiency anemia-three as a result of repeated and intense epistaxis and the rest as a result of digestive losses. The most frequent clinical manifestations were: epistaxis (80%) and the presence of characteristic mucocutaneous lesions easily explored by sight (80%). We emphasize the role of this disease as a cause of iron deficiency anemia and the importance of clinical exploration.

D000747 Anemia, Hypochromic Anemia characterized by a decrease in the ratio of the weight of hemoglobin to the volume of the erythrocyte, i.e., the mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration is less than normal. The individual cells contain less hemoglobin than they could have under optimal conditions. Hypochromic anemia may be caused by iron deficiency from a low iron intake, diminished iron absorption, or excessive iron loss. It can also be caused by infections or other diseases, therapeutic drugs, lead poisoning, and other conditions.
