Abstract
A 22-yr-old man with blue rubber bleb nevus syndrome is reported on. This is a rare syndrome. This patient is of particular interest because he had a combination of rare features: 5 ileoileal intussusceptions each with a hemangioma acting as the lead point, were present during operation; there was an angiomatous lesion of the glans penis; this is the 1st case reported in a Chinese person. An aggressive surgical approach was used with success. Preoperative and perioperative investigations, including operative colonoscopy, were used to localize the gastrointestinal hemangiomas.
