Blue rubber‐bleb nevus (BRBN) syndrome, first reported in 1958 by Bean, manifests with multiple hemangiomas located in the skin and gastrointestinal tract. Characteristic laboratory data include chronic anemia with iron deficiency and consumption coagulopathy. We describe herein a pregnancy complicated by BRBN syndrome resulting in the delivery of a male infant by cesarean section.
