Small intestine hemangioma

Small intestinal hemangioma is a hamartoma, which mostly originates from the submucosal vascular plexus, but also from the subserosal vessels. Divided into hemangiomas and vascular malformations. Hemangiomas are true tumors, mostly occurring in the jejunum, followed by the ileum, and duodenum is very rare. Vascular malformations are caused by intestinal wall submucosal arterioles, venules dilated, distorted and deformed, and capillaries proliferate in clusters and form communication.
