Primary intestinal wall haemangioma is a rare gastrointestinal (GI) neoplasms which mainly presents as GI bleeding or acute abdominal pain. We report a case of intestinal wall haemangioma, presenting with complete torsion, mistaken as appendicitis. A successful laparoscopic tumour enucleation was made in the case. The pre-operative diagnosis was difficult because the non-specific clinical presentation and computed tomography (CT) findings.

“…Hemangiomas are often solitary lesions. The presence of multiple hemangiomas or those that extensively involve an organ or body part are termed hemangiomatosis (2). Hemangiomas in the gastrointestinal system are very rare, accounting for only 0.05% of intestinal tumors (3,4) and are even rarer in the mesentery; fewer than twenty have been reported.…”

Background: Gastrointestinal hemangiomas are very rare and are even rarer in the mesentery. It is not known whether they originate in the bowel wall or the mesentery currently. Some studies have described mesenteric hemangiomas that originate in the bowel wall and extend into the mesentery. We herein describe a case of cavernous hemangioma of the mesorectum. Case presentation: A 31-year-old male presented with hematochezia and sensation of rectal tenesmus. Both the rectal MRI and contrast-enhanced CT scan of the whole abdomen indicated rectal wall thickening, marked dilated and tortuous vessels around the rectum. In addition, an anomalous vein had arisen from the superior mesenteric vein, extending down to the mesorectum. The patient underwent laparoscopic surgical resection of the mesorectal lesion and the involved portions of the rectum. The surgical samples underwent pathological analysis, and a diagnosis of mesenteric cavernous hemangioma was confirmed. Seven days after surgery, the patient was discharged without postoperative complications.Conclusion: Mesenteric hemangiomas are extremely rare tumors. In our present case, an anomalous vein had arisen from the superior mesenteric vein, extending down to the mesorectum. This findings suggest that the mesenteric hemangioma more likely originated in the mesentery.

“…It originates from the submucosal vascular plexuses and may extend into the muscular layer or beyond[6]. Histologically, hemangiomas are congenital benign vascular lesions that can be classified as capillary, cavernous, or mixed-type according to the size of the vascular channels[2]. With the advent of capsule endoscopy (CE) and balloon-assisted enteroscopy (BAE), complete investigation of the small bowel is possible[7].…”

BACKGROUNDHemangioma of the small intestine is a rare vascular malformation. Before the advent of capsule endoscopy (CE) and balloon-assisted enteroscopy (BAE), preoperative diagnosis of this disease was extremely difficult.CASE SUMMARYIn this study, we report a 24-year-old female with a large transmural small bowel cavernous hemangioma, which was diagnosed with CE and BAE preoperatively and removed successfully using minimally invasive surgery. Meanwhile, we perform a literature review of the studies about intestinal hemangiomas published after 2000. Literature review revealed that 91.9% of the lesions were diagnosed preoperatively by CE and/or BAE and 45.9% of them were treated endoscopically, which is a marked improvement compared to before 2000. Therefore, CE and BAE are useful modalities for the preoperative diagnosis of hemangiomas in the small intestine.CONCLUSIONEndoscopic treatment of intestinal hemangioma is generally prudent and might be suitable for multiple, relatively small lesions.
