  • Title: [Blue rubber bleb nevus].
    Author: Jumbou O, Bureau B, Fleischmann M, Litoux P, Stalder JF.
    Journal: Ann Dermatol Venereol; 1993; 120(3):241-3. PubMed ID: 8239366.
    Abstract:
    Blue Rubber Bleb Naevus (BRBN) is characterized by the presence of bluish haemangiomas on the skin and in the digestive tract. We report a new familial case of this rare entity. Analysis of this female patient's pedigree confirmed that BRBN is transmitted as an autosomal dominant trait. In this particular case gastrointestinal haemangiomas appeared over a 4-year period. Although all treatments of this disease have proved disappointing on the skin as well as in the digestive tract, we insist on the need for a regular and prolonged surveillance.
