title: [Solitary polypoid cavernous hemangioma in the jejunum].
abstract: Hemangiomas of the small intestine are rare. A case report is given of a 77 year old patient with upper gastrointestinal bleeding. Selective arteriography of the art. mesenterica superior revealed a convoluted mass of 1 cm diameter in the arciform arterial segment of a jejunal artery. The jejunal loop affected was removed and end-to-end anastomosis of the small intestine was performed; on histological examination a solitary polypoid cavernous hemangioma with a diameter of 6 mm was found. The patient is doing well 2 1/4 years after surgery.
