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^[1]^[2]	Fever^[3] Night sweats Weight loss Cough and Hemoptysis	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	CD4+ T-lymphocyte count^[4] Decreased hemoglobin level Antibodies against KSHV CD34, HHV-8, and D2-40 positive Fecal occult blood test Helper/suppressor ratio (T4/T8) Measuring serum beta-2-microglobulin Measuring serum acid labile alfa interferon
Diffuse neonatal hemangiomatosis (DNH)	Difficulty in walking Haemorrhages	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^[5]	Painful cutaneous lesions	Lesions that:^[6] looks like plaque looks like cobblestone Hyperkeratotic, dark blue or purple lesions	Biopsy shows the following:^[7] Undifferentiated smooth muscle cells surrounding convoluted venous channels
Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber syndrome	Pain Fatigability Bleeding	Positive port-wine stain Multiple hemangiomas Cutaneous vascular malformation and skin are positive Limb hypertrophy Venous abnormalities	Thrombocytopenia Ultrasonography shows Arteriovenous malformations Cardiac enlargement
Maffucci syndrome^[8]^[9]	Venous vascular malformations Multiple enchondromas^[10]	Nodules that are in red/brown or bluish in colour Severe disfigurement of the affected body parts	Spindle cell hemangiomas Phleboliths
