Abstract

Abstract Blue Rubber Bleb Nevus Syndrome (BRBNS) is a rare disorder characterized by multiple vascular nodules affecting the skin and gastrointestinal tract. Gastrointestinal involvement is highly variable, ranging from chronic anemia and iron deficiency to episodes of acute gastrointestinal bleeding. Endoscopic techniques play a key role in diagnosis, evaluation of disease extent, and therapeutic management of vascular lesions.
