A three‐year‐old boy with unilateral dermatomal superficial telangiectasia (UDST) is the first reported case with skin lesions in two non‐adjacent areas (dermatomal areas of Trigeminal 2 and L 4–5 ). In this case, onset occurred at an early age, the onset was eight months after an operation, and the liver function was normal; therefore we believe it is congenital, even though the patient had undergone an extensive right hepatectomy to remove a hamartoma in his liver at the age of four months.
