We report a case of Bean syndrome in a 3-year-old child of nonconsanguineous parents, in whom the diagnosis of miliary hemangiomatosis was initially made in view of a huge mass on the left thigh, taking the knee, and then the progressive appearance of a skin disorder with bluish swellings of variable sizes spread over the whole body. The patient was put on beta-blockers but without improvement. The evolution was marked by an increase in the volume of the thigh mass. Ultrasound exploration coupled with Doppler imaging revealed the presence of angiomas in the thigh, requiring emergency surgery following a large hemorrhage. The patient underwent sclerotherapy. At the age of 18 months, the child returned with severe anemia and melena. The abdominal CT scan showed gallbladder intussusception secondary to an angioma requiring intestinal resection for hemostasis. At the age of three years, the angiomas worsened with an increase in volume, particularly on the face. The association of the cutaneous and digestive involvement of these venous malformations made us rectify the diagnosis. The patient was put on sirolimus (rapamycin), 2\u2009mg\/m2, with good evolution with a delay of 18 months; the patient presents no more episodes of bleeding with regression of the size of cutaneous angiomas. This observation underlines that BS is difficult to diagnose because of its low frequency, that sirolimus was effective and well tolerated in our patient, and that it can be suggested as a good and safe therapeutic option.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2022\/8245139","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,24]],"date-time":"2022-05-24T16:05:11Z","timestamp":1653408311000},"page":"1-3","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Bean Syndrome in a Child Treated with Sirolimus: About a Case"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2022","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0402-2832","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Ayad","family":"Ghanam","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, Mohammed VI University Hospital, Oujda, Morocco"},{"name":"Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy, Mohammed Ist University, Oujda, Morocco"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Aziza","family":"Elouali","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, Mohammed VI University Hospital, Oujda, Morocco"},{"name":"Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy, Mohammed Ist University, Oujda, Morocco"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Merouane","family":"Nour","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy, Mohammed Ist University, Oujda, Morocco"},{"name":"Department of Pediatric Surgery, Mohammed VI University Hospital, Mohammed I University, Oujda, Morocco"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Maria","family":"Rkain","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, Mohammed VI University Hospital, Oujda, Morocco"},{"name":"Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy, Mohammed Ist University, Oujda, Morocco"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Noufissa","family":"Benajiba","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, Mohammed VI University Hospital, Oujda, Morocco"},{"name":"Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy, Mohammed Ist University, Oujda, Morocco"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Abdeladim","family":"Babakhouya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, Mohammed VI University Hospital, Oujda, Morocco"},{"name":"Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy, Mohammed Ist University, Oujda, Morocco"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","reference":[{"issue":"5","key":"1","first-page":"559","article-title":"A unique microvascular phenotype shared by juvenile hemangiomas and human placenta","volume":"137","author":"P.
