“…While resection of the affected segment of bowel has become the mainstay of treatment, few have weighed the curative effect of widespread intestinal resection against the drastic consequences upon patient quality of life, which proved to be a critical factor in the decision-making of our patient [3][4][5]. Although some have utilized polypectomy, sclerotherapy, and cauterization for lesions accessible via endoscopy, these approaches largely remain underutilized and understudied given the friability of these structures and the risk of uncontrollable hemorrhage [3,[6][7].…”

Small intestinal hemangiomas may present as a severe gastrointestinal hemorrhage associated with a hematologic emergency. In the emergent setting, this may result in more extensive intestinal resection than would otherwise be necessary with elective intervention. The widespread application of capsule endoscopy and double-balloon enteroscopy presents an opportunity to diagnose small bowel hemangiomas prior to symptomatic onset. In one of the first published cases of multiple small intestinal hemangiomas, we highlight the importance of maintaining a broad differential and pursuing a thorough workup, including small bowel imaging, in patients with complaints of chronic abdominal pain and anemia.

Hemangiomas are rare small bowel tumors requiring a high index of suspicion for diagnosis. We present a case of ileal hemangioma in a 3-year-old male presenting with recurrent anemia. The patient was diagnosed with a contrast-enhanced computed tomography abdomen and managed surgically by resection and anastomosis. Histopathologically, it was a solitary ileal cavernous hemangioma with a submucosal infiltrative pattern with serosa involvement and a normal mucosa.
