title: Crohn's disease angiographically mimicking vascular malformation or neoplasm.
abstract: We report a young woman with lower gastrointestinal bleeding in whom, angiographically and surgically, the offending cecal lesion appeared to be a vascular malformation or neoplasm. Pathologically, Crohn's disease associated with extremely prominent vascularity was discovered to be responsible for this unusual appearance and the bleeding.
