Abstract

We report the case of a 7-year-old boy with blue rubber bleb nevus syndrome and frequent digestive tract hemorrhage. Gastrointestinal hemangiomas were treated with laser therapy. Intermittent steroid therapy was administered from the age of 6 years. The results are compared to the relevant medical literature.
