We present a case of hereditary angioedema with cutaneous and intestinal manifestations mimicking a small bowel tumor on computed tomography, and in which unnecessary surgery was avoided by follow-up computed tomography. We discuss the pathophysiology, clinical and radiological manifestations of the disease, as well as its computed tomographic appearance.
