Duodenojejunal obstruction by a hemangioma.
Gastrointestinal obstruction by hemangiomas is exceedingly rare. We report a case of a duodenojejunal obstruction caused by a large hemangioma. The patient underwent a gastrojejunostomy for relief of the obstruction and has been symptom-free, although the hemangioma persists.
