Abstract
We report a 16-year-old Indian boy diagnosed with Blue Rubber Bleb Nevus syndrome, which is a rare venous
malformation that goes overlooked in most case scenarios. He had presented with long standing history of fatigue,
melena with a past history of surgery for a vascular malformation and also had multiple bluish skin plaques. He was
evaluated and was found to have iron deficiency anemia. Considering the history of melena, upper GI endoscopy was
done, which revealed multiple vascular malformations, and so did colonoscopy. Patient was offered multidisciplinary
team (MDT) approach involving Internal Medicine, Gastroenterology, Dermatology and Plastic surgery
