Blue rubber bleb nevus syndrome.

ABSTRACT

Two cases of blue rubber bleb nevus syndrome are being reported because of their rarity. Case one was classical with multiple, soft, painful, tender, bleb- like, bluish nodules and gastro- intestinal tract bleeding. In case 2 typical zosteriform, soft bluish, compressible, tender, painful nodules simulating that of blue rubber bleb nevus syndrome were present on the right thigh since the age of 14 years. He refused biopsy and therefore it was not possible to exclude other segmental vascular naevi.
