Description

Blue rubber bleb nevus syndrome is a rare disorder characterized by unique, multiple bluish, elastic hemangiomas of the entire body, mainly involving the skin and gastrointestinal tract. We have experienced seven patients with this syndrome and treated surgically those hemangiomas that resulted in serious dysfunction or disfigurement. Based on the follow up study (including a 62-year-old woman, who had been followed-up for more than 20 years), we propose prompt surgical treatment before hemangiomas grow incurable, particularly at the early phase of this syndrome. This disease could be suggested even at the onset of symptoms based on the unique hemangiomas, and some of them certainly show steady growth and thus are a burden physically, functionally and cosmetically.
