    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Gastroenterology
    • Pediatrics

    Background:

    • Blue Rubber Bleb Nevus (BRBN) syndrome is a rare congenital vascular malformation.
    • It presents with multiple venous malformations in the skin and visceral organs, primarily the gastrointestinal tract.
    • BRBN syndrome can lead to significant complications, including chronic bleeding and anemia.

    Observation:

    • A case study of an 11-year-old boy diagnosed with Blue Rubber Bleb Nevus is presented.
    • The patient displayed typical cutaneous and gastrointestinal hemangiomas.
    • Associated iron deficiency anemia was a prominent clinical feature.

    Findings:

    • The case highlights the characteristic clinical presentation of BRBN syndrome.
    • Pathological and surgical aspects of managing BRBN were reviewed.
    • Fibroscopic examination proved valuable in identifying the source of gastrointestinal bleeding.

    Implications:

    • This case underscores the importance of a multidisciplinary approach in diagnosing and managing BRBN syndrome.
    • Early and accurate diagnosis can prevent severe complications like anemia.
    • Fibroscopic examination is a key diagnostic tool for gastrointestinal manifestations of BRBN.
