Blue Rubber Bleb Nevus Syndrome because of 12 Years of Iron Deficiency Anemia in a Patient by Double Balloon Enteroscopy; A Case Report and Review of Literature.

Blue rubber bleb nevus syndrome (BRBNS) is a rare disorder comprised of venous malformation mostly involving the skin and gastrointestinal (GI) tract but can also involve other visceral organs. The most predominant site of GI tract involvement is the small bowel. In patients with GI lesions, treatment depends on the severity of bleeding, and extent of involvement.

Topography of gastritis and its severity in 864 first degree relatives of gastric cancer patients.

Objectives: Studies on gastric mucosal histological findings among first degree relatives (FDR) of gastric cancer (GC) patients are scarce. The aim is to evaluate the topography and the severity of gastritis among FDR of GC patients.

Design: A total of 989 subjects who were FDR of GC patients, ages 40-65 years underwent gastroscopies.
