Özet
Conflict of interest: none declared. Blue rubber bleb naevus syndrome (BRBNS) is a rare disorder characterized by venous malformations of various organs, with the skin most frequently affected. Dermatoscopy is a noninvasive in vivo method used for the diagnosis of pigmented and various nonpigmented skin lesions. It is also an important diagnostic tool for vascular skin lesions.1 To our knowledge, there is only one other report describing the dermatoscopic features of BRBNS. We report an additional dermatoscopic finding in a 2‐year‐old girl with BRBNS. The patient presented with mostly soft, compressible, dark‐blue papules, plaques, nodules and maculae on the arms, legs and auricles, with an additional verrucous tumour on the right sole (Fig. 1). Some of the lesions had been present at birth, and had increased in size and number over the time. Most of the lesions were tender and haemorrhagic. The patient had trouble walking because of the lesion on the sole of her foot.
