Abstract
Chronic alcoholism is a global public health problem showing increasing trends throughout the world. Alcoholic liver disease is one of the most important causes of mortality worldwide. Cutaneous features are one of the most frequent manifestations of liver disease and can often be a presenting feature. Spider angioma is one of the cutaneous manifestations in liver diseases. More than six spider nevi are considered abnormal. Here we present a case of a gentleman with a history of chronic alcohol intake and diagnosed with Zieve's syndrome, who presented with extensive cutaneous spider angioma.
