Abstract
We experienced a case of multiple vascular ectasias of the rectum who had been effectively treated by argon plasma coaglation (APC) . A 72 year-old man who complained of bloody stool visited our hospital in September, 2002. Colonoscopic examination revealed multiple vascular ectasias of the rectum with oozing. The lesions were treated effectively by APC. At two months after APC treatment, colonoscopic examination showed that these lesions had changed into scars. APC is conceivable to be useful for the treatment of vascular ectasia of the rectum.
