Two cases of diffuse cavernous haemangioma of the rectum are reported and a thorough review of the world literature with a sum of 79 patients is done. We advocate low anterior resections for the treatment of this disease; sleeve resections are not necessary, since the recurrent bleeding and complication rates are not statistically different from the low anterior resections without mucosal stripping.
