Gastrointestinal angiodysplasia is an acquired and degenerative lesion characterized by proliferation and ectasias of the vessels of the mucosa and submucosa. It's thought to be one of the most common causes of lower gastrointestinal bleeding in the elderly. We describe two cases of angiodysplasia and review the related literature.
