Spider angioma on the upper body are a sign of estrogen dominance driven by impaired hepatic estrogen clearance. Spider angioma form because impaired liver function allows estrogen to accumulate, and excess estrogen drives the vascular changes producing dilated capillary clusters. Spider angioma are dilated blood vessels radiating from a central point that appear on the upper body and are a classic sign of liver disease. Spider angioma are especially common after pregnancy and in individuals taking exogenous estrogen replacement therapy.
