Analysis Of Blue Rubber Syndrome

Blue Rubber Syndrome is a rare condition initially discovered by Gascoyen in 1860. In 1985 William Bennett Bean made the disease more popular for which the disease was termed Bean Syndrome. Later referenced Blue Rubber Bleb Nevus Syndrome, this disease causes patients blood vessels to develop improperly in an area of the skin or visceral organs, particularly the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The malformed blood vessels form blood clots and appear on the skin as deep blue, soft, and rubbery blebs or lesions, referred to as a nevus. Along with the soft blue lesions, patients can also experience multiple bowel venous malformations. These lesions can lead to the lower GI tract bleeding, which can cause anemia and severe cases of hemorrhage
