Poster Session : PS 0836 ; Upper GI Tract : A Case of Blue Rubber Bleb Nervus Syndrome

Blue rubber bleb nervus syndrome (BRBNS) is a very rare disease that characterized by cutaneous and gastrointestinal venous hemangioma. We report a case of 43-year-old patient with BRBNS. He visited our hospital for dizzinesss and epigastric discomfort for a week. Iron defi cient anemia (IDA) was reported by laboratory data. Cutaneous hemangioma was found on right inguinal area. We performed EGD and colonoscopy. We found about 0.8cm sized blue colored sessile polyps on the EGD and 0.8~2.0 sized several blue colored sessile polyps with oozing hemorrhage on the colonoscopy. We removed all polyps by endoscopic mucosal resection. Pathologic reports confirmed multiple cavernous hemangiomas. We reports this unusual IDA case due to BRBNS.
