A cardiac presentation of Blue Rubber Bleb Nevus Syndrome

Abstract

Blue rubber bleb nevus syndrome (BRBNS) is a rare condition, who is characterized by numerous venous malformations in the skin and viscera, particularly in the gastrointestinal tract. The exact etiology of this syndrome is unknown, but on a molecular level, the elevated expression of c-kit has been demonstrated [1]. Cardiac involvement is not described in the literature.
