  • Title: Caecal lymphangioma: a rare cause of gastrointestinal blood loss.
    Author: Rai P, Rao RN, Chakraborthy SB.
    Journal: BMJ Case Rep; 2013 Apr 19; 2013():. PubMed ID: 23606386.
    Abstract:
    Lymphangioma is the malformation of the lymphatic system. Lymphangioma is a benign tumour and most colonic lymphangiomas do not cause symptoms and do not require treatment. Resection is required in patients with bleeding or intussusceptions. We report a case of intestinal lymphangiomatosis in a 31-year-old man who presented with recurrent melena and anaemia, which were diagnosed endoscopically and treated with surgical resection.
