    Abstract:
    Blue rubber bleb nevus syndrome is a rare congenital sporadic disorder characterized by multiple venous malformations localized in the skin, gastrointestinal tract, and internal organs. Gastrointestinal lesions tend to lead to massive or occult bleeding and iron deficiency anemia. The treatment of symptomatic gastrointestinal venous malformations remains a challenge, especially in the setting of recurrent blood loss anemia. An endoscopic approach may be required for refractory cases. We present a case of a 20-year-old patient with blue rubber bleb nevus syndrome with multiple lesions in the stomach, duodenal bulb, small bowel, sigmoid, and descending colon who underwent successful endoscopic mucosal resection, hybrid endoscopic submucosal dissection, and surgical transmural resection of vascular lesions for recurrent bleeding.
