Laser surgery for blue rubber bleb nevus
T. G. Olsen, S. K. Milroy, L. Goldman and J. P. Fidler
A 21-year-old man has had extensive cutaneous and visceral manifestations
of the blue rubber bleb nevus syndrome since birth. Surgical therapy with
the carbon dioxide laser was successful in removing 225 skin hemangiomas
without recurrences or complications such as hemorrhage and infection. The
cosmetic and follow-up results have been excellent.
