Blue rubber bleb nevus syndrome presenting with recurrences.
An unusual patient with blue rubber bleb nevus syndrome is presented. At birth a single abdominal wall hemangioma was noted, and over a 21-year follow-up the full syndrome developed, including many cutaneous and intestinal lesions and anemia. Our long-term follow-up of this patient allows an understanding of the natural history of this condition, especially regarding recurrence of lesions after excision.
