RUIZ DE LA HERMOSA, Alicia; ZORRILLA-ORTUZAR, Jaime y VALLE-HERNANDEZ, Emilio Del. Diffuse cavernous hemangioma of the rectum. Cir. cir. [online]. 2021, vol.89, n.6, pp.818-821. Epub 08-Feb-2022. ISSN 2444-054X. https://doi.org/10.24875/ciru.20000746.
Diffuse cavernous hemangioma (DCH) is a rare benign vascular lesion. The rectosigmoid colon is the most common site of this disease. It affects mainly young adults. The most frequent symptom is chronic rectal bleeding which is painless, often begins in the infancy and sometimes is uncontrollable. Endoscopy is the diagnose method of choice and complete surgical excision with sphincter-saving procedure is the primary mode of treatment. A high index of suspicion and a correct diagnose is necessary. We present a 34-year-old male with a DCH of the rectum and anus who required an APR because of affection of dentate line.
