We present the case of a 16 year-old male who presented intestinal hemorrhages since childhood; he was operated in emergency for microhemangiomas located in sigmoid colon and rectum. This lesion can be considered as a complex vascular hamartoma. We review the literature and discuss the differences between this lesion and angiodysplasia.
