[Hemorrhagic intestinal lymphangioma --report of a case].
This paper presents the case of a male patient, 57 years old, admitted to the hospital for upper digestive bleeding revealed by melena stools. The upper digestive endoscopy has not discovered the source of bleeding. Conventional medical therapy, with hemostatics, proton pump blockers and transfusion, failed to stop the bleeding, requiring emergency surgery for stopping the bleeding. The intraoperative exploration discovered three submucosal formations with dimensions between 0,5 and 0,75 cm, who ulcerated the jejunal mucosa, situated at 20-25cm from the duodeno-jejunal angle. The pathologic report described haemorrhagic intestinal lymphangioma. The excision of the sub-mucosal haemangioma stopped the bleeding.
