It should be of interest to all physicians. We wish to reiterate the fundamental relationship between pulmonary arteriovenous fistula and hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasis, to summarize their important clinical characteristics, and to discuss two cases occurring in a family, one of which was cured by lobectomy.Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasis is a primary vascular disease characterized by cutaneous, mucosal and visceral telangiectasis and angiomata, hemorrhages and a hereditary transmission. The lesions are commonly seen on the face and on the mucosal surfaces...Bibliography1. Fitz-Hugh TJ: The importance of atavism in the diagnosis of hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia, Am. J. M.
