| Abstract |
|
The Blue Rubber Bleb Nevus Syndrome is defined as rarely occuring hemangioma of the
skin and gastrointestinal tract, with intestinal hemorrhage. Bean in 1958 gave the name
Blue Rubber Bleb Nevus (BRBN) to a variant of bluish hemangiomas of the gastrointestinal
tract which causes bleeding, which had been described for the first time by Gascoyen.
We experienced a case of Blue Rubber Bleb Nevus Syndrome in a 2 month old male who
was admitted to our Hospital because of pallor and multiple hemangiomas on the general
body surface. This skin lesion had been present since birth and had grown progressively
in size and numbers and turned into blue color, but some lesions regressed spontaneously.
The histopathologic findings of red hemangioma revealed dilated vascular spaces containing
erythrocytes in papillary dermis and many large, irregular, vascular spaces lined by single
layer of endothelial cells in mid reticular dermis. The sweat glands were in close proximity
to many of the vascular structures. The radiologic examination revealed numerous tiny-
polypoid filling defect in small and large intestine suggesting hemangiomas.
The review of literature was made briefly.
