A rectosigmoid haemangioma: A rare etiology of rectal bleeding
Cavernous haemangiomas of the rectosigmoid colon are rare benign vascular neoplasms of the GI tract. Patients usually present at a younger age with various degree of rectal bleeding ranging from mild painless episodic bleeding to life-threatening hemorrhage. High index of suspicion and early diagnos...

description | Cavernous haemangiomas of the rectosigmoid colon are rare benign vascular neoplasms of the GI tract. Patients usually present at a younger age with various degree of rectal bleeding ranging from mild painless episodic bleeding to life-threatening hemorrhage. High index of suspicion and early diagnosis is crucial to avoid unnecessary biopsy and inappropriate management. We report a case of a 26-year-old male patient with a long history of recurrent rectal bleeding. Contrast-enhanced CT scan of the abdomen and pelvis and MRI confirmed the diagnosis of cavernous hemangioma. Further surgical treatment with rectosigmoid resection and colo-anal anastomosis represents the optimum path of management for our patient. |
