The hemangiomas of the intestinal tract are rare benign tumors. The main clinical symptom of which is bleeding. The diagnosis of hemangiomatosis may present difficulties. In all cases of unexplained intestinal bleeding the possibility of hemangiomatosis should be considered. Should conventional radiographic studies and endoscopy, including colonoscopy, fail to locate precisely the source of bleeding, further angiographic studies are definitely indicated. Angiography is the key to the diagnosis of intestinal hemangiomatosis.
