Abstract
A 67-year-old man underwent colostomy for hematochezia at the age of 19 years. He had several recent episodes of hematochezia for which he underwent colonoscopic examination. Dilated veins in the subcutaneum and mucosal edema were observed at the left side of colon up to the rectum. Abdominal ultrasonography and enhanced computed tomography indicated liver tumor. Mile's operation and liver resection were performed. During the Mile's operation, active bleeding occurred from the colon mesenterium. Pathological diagnosis of diffuse cavernous hemangioma of the colon and hepatocellular carcinoma was made. The patient was discharged after the operation. We report a diffuse cavernous hemangioma case. This is a very rare disorder, and hence, explains the paucity of literature few references.
