- Abstract
Hemangiomas of the gastrointestinal tract are very rare in both children and adults. The following case history describes a child with uncharacteristic abdominal pain and stenosis of the terminal ileum. Intraoperatively we found an enlarged hamartomatous alteration of the ileocecal region. The histological analysis showed a hamartomatous venous hemangioma. Problems concerning classification and diagnosis are discussed.
