Blue rubber bleb nevus syndrome is described above. There | Dermatology

Blue rubber bleb nevus syndrome is described above. There are multiple venous malformations on the extremities and trunk, often present at birth to early childhood. The number of these lesions increase with age. The lesions may have increased sweating and can be combined with lymphatic-venous malformations. Skin lesions can be a clue to gastrointestinal venous malformations which can lead to secondary bleeding and anemia. The most reasonable screening test to determine if the patient has GI hemorrhage is a stool guiac. An MRI or complete blood count can be helpful, but are not the best test to start with. A skin biopsy is not indicated. If there is GI blood loss, evaluation by a gastroenterologist is useful
