Adult-Onset Blue Rubber Bleb Nevus Syndrome.

A 64-year-old, nondiabetic, nonhypertensive Indian woman was admitted to our hospital for evaluation of lethargy that had been present for the past 10 months. In addition, she had developed multiple, gradually progressive, bluish nodules scattered over the skin and mucous membranes for the preceding 15 years. There was no history of recent weight loss, vomiting of blood, passing of bloody stool, or any other external bleeding. There was no significant family history and medical and surgical history was noncontributory. She had received iron preparations repeatedly in the past.
