Blue rubber bleb nevus syndrome (BRBNS) is a rare condition with lesions in skin and/or other visceral organs, predominantly gastrointestinal tract. The condition is not fatal, unless associated with systemic involvement. BRBNS can also present as cutaneous lesions only. We report a classical case of BRBNS in zosteriform distribution, involving C6 and C7 dermatomes, in an adult Kashmiri male, a rare presentation.ÂReferences
