Abstract

Blue rubber bleb nevus syndrome (BRBNS) is a rare disorder characterized by multiple recurrent vascular malformations, including hemangioma, which primarily locate on the skin and gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The present study reports a 22-year-old female with iron-deficiency anemia and recurrent episodes of melena. The patient also exhibited characteristic venous malformations of the skin. Endoscopy revealed several hemangiomas in the GI tract. The hemangiomas were treated by ligation using a nylon cord, while small blue mucosal polypoid lesions were treated using a sclerosing agent during colonoscopy and double-balloon enteroscopy. The patient was reviewed regularly for three years following surgery and no further bleeding episodes were noted.
