  • Title: Solitary hemangioma of the small intestine: an unusual cause of bleeding diagnosed at capsule endoscopy.
    Author: Magnano A, Privitera A, Calogero G, Nanfito' L, Basile G, Sanfilippo G.
    Journal: J Pediatr Surg; 2005 Oct; 40(10):e25-7. PubMed ID: 16226971.
    Abstract:
    Solitary small intestine hemangiomas are rare and usually present with overt bleeding or chronic anemia. Diagnosis is usually difficult because traditional imaging techniques often lack accuracy. Capsule endoscopy is a new diagnostic tool that has showed greater sensitivity than other methods to reveal causes of bleeding in the small intestine. A case of hemangioma of the ileum in a 13-year-old boy is presented. Capsule endoscopy allowed diagnosis and planning of surgical treatment.
