Guest guest Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 Spider naevi. Here multiple vascular spiders have coalesced to form a network on the anterior chest wall. This appearance has been termed ‘paper money skin'. Vascular spiders and palmar erythema are traditionally attributed to estrogen excess. It is not clear why these tend to occur in the upper half of the body (the distribution of the superior vena cava). Miles , Newport, Wales Barb in Texas - Together in the Fight, Whatever it Takes!
