A 3 1/2-year-old girl with multiple hemangiomas of the skin developed a severe anemia soon after birth due to intestinal hemorrhage. She required multiple blood transfusions for the next 3 years. At the time of operation 32 hemangiomas in the duodenum, small and large bowel were resected. The postoperative course was uneventful, the child had no further blood less. An extensive hemangioma in the lower esophagus was left in place.
