Abstract
We present an 18-year-old man with painless rectal bleeding, hematuria and diffuse cavernous hemangioma of the rectum and sigmoid colon. Thi rty units of blood were transfused during the interval preceding defin itive surgery. Low anterior resection and partial cystectomy were perf ormed. During the postoperative period no rectal bleeding occurred, bu t he died of massive intracerebral bleeding 10 months after the operat ion.
