==Overview==
==[[Blue rubber bleb nevus syndrome overview|Overview]]==
'''Blue rubber [[bleb]] [[nevus]] [[syndrome]]''' (or "BRBNS", or "blue rubber bleb syndrome, or "blue rubber-bleb nevus", or "Bean syndrome") is a [[rare disease|rare disorder]] that consists mainly of abnormal [[blood vessel]]s affecting the [[gastrointestinal tract]].


==Presentation==
== [[Blue rubber bleb nevus syndrome historical perspective|Historical Perspective]] ==
BRBNS is a [[venous]] malformation, formerly, though incorrectly, thought to be related to the [[hemangioma]]. It carries significant potential for serious or fatal bleeding. [[Lesion]]s are most commonly found on the [[skin]] and in the [[small intestine]] and [[distal]] [[large bowel]].


==Causes==
== [[Blue rubber bleb nevus syndrome pathophysiology|Pathophysiology]] ==
The causes of this syndrome are unknown. Not more than a few hundred cases have been described worldwide.


==History==
== [[Blue rubber bleb nevus syndrome causes|Causes]] ==
It was first described by Gascoyen in 1860.<ref>Gascoyen GG. Case of naevus involving the parotid gland and causing death from suffocation: naevi of the viscera. Trans Pathol Soc London 1860;11:267.</ref> In 1958 William Bennett Bean described the lesions further and came up with the term BRBNS, chosen because the 'cutaneous hemangiomas have the look and feel of rubber nipples'.<ref>Bean WB. Bleeding from the butt in rare disorders with diagnostic lesions of the skin and mucous membranes. In: Bean WB, editor. Rare diseased and lesions: their contributions to clinical medicine. Springfield (IL): Charles C. Thomas; 1967. p. 3-29.</ref>
