Abstract

A patient with Bean's blue rubber bleb nevus syndrome presented with a hemothorax, and 18 years earlier had presented with "idiopathic" hemopercardium and tamponade. Typical hemangiomas were found in the pleura and skin. This is the first report of intrathoracic bleeding with this disorder.
