Blue rubber bleb nevus syndrome differential diagnosis

Overview

Blue rubber bleb nevus syndrome must be differentiated from dermatologic manifestations of kaposi Sarcoma, diffuse neonatal hemangiomatosis, familial glomangiomatosis, genetics of klippel-trenaunay-weber syndrome, maffucci syndrome and mucosal venous malformation syndrome.

Differentiating Blue rubber bleb nevus syndrome from other Diseases

Blue rubber bleb nevus syndrome must be differentiated from dermatologic manifestations of kaposi Sarcoma, diffuse neonatal hemangiomatosis, familial glomangiomatosis, genetics of klippel-trenaunay-weber syndrome, maffucci syndrome and mucosal venous malformation syndrome.

Disease	Symptoms	Physical examination	Lab Findings
Kaposi Sarcoma	Fever Night sweats Weight loss	Red or violaceous macules and patches over the legs, nose, and feet Nodules or plaques The color of the lesions may change into blue, purple, or brown as the disease progress	Decreased hemoglobin level Antibodies against KSHV CD34, HHV-8, and D2-40 positive
Diffuse Neonatal Hemangiomatosis	Difficulty in walking	Presence of venous malformations in Leptomeninges Eyes Respiratory tract, and GI tract Mucosal surfaces Positive enchondromas Shortened or unequal length limbs in the patients with Diffuse Neonatal Hemangiomatosis	Radiologic evaluation is very important in the follow of Diffuse Neonatal Hemangiomatosis which shows the following Destruction of cortex Endosteal cortical erosion Zones of lucency
Familial Glomangiomatosis	Painful cutaneous lesions	Painful cutaneous lesions	Biopsy
Genetics of Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber Syndrome	Pain Fatigability Bleeding	Positive port-wine stain Cutaneous vascular malformation and skin are positive Limb hypertrophy Venous abnormalities	Thrombocytopenia Ultrasonography shows Arteriovenous malformations Cardiac enlargement
Maffucci Syndrome
