Resumen
GOMEZ R, Diego Mauricio et al. A Case Report of Cavernous Hemangioma as a Cause of Occult Gastrointestinal Bleeding. Rev Col Gastroenterol [online]. 2018, vol.33, n.1, pp.68-73. ISSN 0120-9957. https://doi.org/10.22516/25007440.234.
This is a descriptive study based on the case report of a patient suspected of occult gastrointestinal bleeding who was evaluated by the gastroenterology service in Clínica Nuestra in Cali. Previous studies had not shown cause of bleeding. Video endoscopy (Mirocam) found a lesion in the small intestine. Enteroscopy at performed at Clínica Farallones in Cali with an Olympus 180 Q enteroscope confirmed the finding. Surgery further confirmed the diagnosis. Data and photographs were obtained from the database of endoscopy services and the pathology photos were obtained from the pathologist’s registry. A literature review based on a Pubmed search of the existing literature on clinical histories and reports of similar cases is included.
