Abstract

The blue rubber bleb nevus syndrome is a rare vascular disorder entity that consists of multiple venous malformations that involve the skin, gastrointestinal tract and viscera. Patients may be asymptomatic or may present with various manifestations depending on the site of these vascular alterations and organs involved. The different diagnostic modalities allow for clear identification of vascular malformations; however, they are usually considered an incidental finding and are rarely the reason for the study to be performed. We describe the case of a 65-year-old patient with a diagnosis of blue nevus syndrome with evident venous malformations in computed tomography, ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging
