Unilateral Nevoid Telangiectasia (UNT) is a rare congenital or acquired benign cutaneous vascular anomaly, first identified by Blaschko in 1899. It is characterized by superficial telangiectasias with a reticular or linear pattern on one side of the body, often following a dermatomal distribution. We present the first case documented in Saudi Arabia of UNT in a 12-year-old girl.
