  • Diffuse cavernous hemangioma of the rectosigmoid is a rare lesion usually presented in children and young adult, often with life threatening hemorrhage. The clinical diagnosis is difficult and often delayed because of lack of awareness of the clinical features. We report a case of diffuse cavernous hemangioma of the rectosigmoid in a 12-year-old boy who had undergone suture ligation under the impression of hemorrhoid at his age 3. Sphincter-saving coloanal pull through procedure were applied as the surgical treatment. Sclerotherapy was needed with recurrent rectal bleeding 6 months after the pull through operation. The patient is well at 12 months follow-up.
