Small intestinal hemangioma: Endoscopic or surgical intervention? A case report and review of literature

Abstract: 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 in… Show more

“…2 With the prevalence of capsule endoscopy and balloon-assisted enteroscopy, preoperative diagnosis of small intestinal hemangioma has become reliable. 3 In the present study, the ulcer in the capillary hemangioma was proposed to be the cause of occult bleeding and consequent chronic iron deficiency anemia. Endoscopic treatment, such as endoscopic resection, injection of sclerosant, and argon plasma coagulation, may be an effective therapeutic strategy for capillary hemangioma.…”

“…However, endoscopic treatment may result in poor therapeutic outcomes because the main lesion is generally located in the submucosal layer. 3 Considering that the lesion showed a submucosal-like tumor with ulceration, surgical resection was performed as opposed to endoscopic treatment. To conclude, capillary hemangiomas should be included in the differential diagnoses of OGIB.…”

“…There is no specific consensus regarding the therapeutic indication for small bowel hemangioma. According to a recent case series, treatment is indicated for small bowel hemangiomas with symptoms, including gastrointestinal bleeding or abdominal pain (17). While both open surgical and endoscopic resection of small bowel hemangiomas should be considered as suitable treatment options (3,4), a simple and conservative therapeutic approach might be required, especially for patients with multiple lesions.…”

“…Гемангиомы тонкой кишки составляют от 5 до 10 % доброкачественных опухолей [1] и около 0,3 % всех опухолей этого отдела желу-дочно-кишечного тракта (ЖКТ), а гемангиомы с локализацией в двенадцатиперстной кишке встречаются чрезвычайно редко (3,4 % всех гемангиом ЖКТ) [2]. Это доброкачественные сосудистые поражения, которые развиваются вследствие дисэмбриопластических процессов в мезенхиме и представляют собой капиллярные, кавернозные или смешанные по строению структуры подслизистого слоя и слизистых оболочек при локализации в полом органе [3]. Наряду с бессимптомным течением гемангиомы верхних отделов ЖКТ могут проявляться кровотечением, абдоминальными болями и даже инвагинацией кишечника с непроходимостью и перфорацией [1,3].…”

Независимо от диагности-ческих возможностей дооперационная дифференциальная диагностика очень сложна [4,5] и поставить точный диагноз зачастую можно только после гистологического исследования препарата, удаленного во время операции [6].…”
