ABSTRACT
Blue rubber bleb nevus syndrome (BRBNS or Bean's syndrome) is a rare disease characterized by the interaction of hemangiomas of rubber-like tenacity in the skin and gastrointestinal tract, rarely in other organs. Cutaneous malformations are usually asymptomatic and not require any treatment. The most common symptoms of gastrointestinal tract are iron deficiency anemia and bleeding. Hemangiomas can occur in any organ and cause a wide spectrum of symptoms. BRBNS can cause massive bleeding and even death. In this article we present a case of Bean's syndrome in a 7,5-year-old girl with bleeding from the lower gastrointestinal tract, which has been caused by hemangiomas located in the skin, large intestine, chest and armpit.
