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