Hemangiomas are common benign tumors that usually occur on the head and neck in children. However, colonic hemangiomas are rare in clinical practice. Approximately 80% of colonic hemangiomas are of the cavernous type, and morphologically, ≥80% of colonic hemangiomas are sessile and semi-pedunculated. Notably, pedunculated colonic hemangiomas are rare. A 69-year-old woman presented with hematochezia and underwent colonoscopy, which revealed a soft pedunculated submucosal tumor (SMT) measuring 1.5 cm in diameter, in the sigmoid colon. The surface of the SMT resembled the surrounding normal colonic mucosa with regard to color and appearance, with multiple red patches. Narrow-band imaging revealed a few telangiectasias on the surface of the SMT. The lesion could not be definitively diagnosed based on endoscopic findings. Therefore, for more accurate diagnosis, the SMT was removed by snare polypectomy with electrocautery after clipping the basal portion of the tumor stalk for prophylactic hemostasis. Histopathological examination of the specimen revealed a cavernous hemangioma with a negative resection margin. We report a case of a pedunculated cavernous hemangioma of the sigmoid colon removed by snare polypectomy with electrocautery after clipping the basal portion of the tumor stalk for prophylactic hemostasis.

Cavernous hemangioma of colon and rectum is a rare disease, with no more than 200 cases reported in the literature so far. The rectosigmoid is the most common site of this disease in the gastrointestinal tract. We report a case of a 32-year-old male with recurrent episodes of per-rectal bleeding, who was finally diagnosed of cavernous hemangioma of sigmoid colon and ano-rectum. The lesion, 23 cm in length, occupied the whole circumference of the sigmoid colon and rectum extending up to the margin of the anal sphincter. Ultra-low anterior resection with hand-sewn colo-anal anastomosis and temporary loop ileostomy was carried out. The patient is in regular follow up. He is now symptom free.

Histologic Types

Castleman's disease is a benign lymphoid neoplasm first reported as hyperplasia of mediastinal lymph nodes. Some authors referred to the lesions as isolated tumors, described as a variant of Hodgkin's disease with a possibility of a malignant potential and others proposed that the lymphoid masses were of a hamartomatous nature. Three histologic variants and two clinical types of the disease have been described. The disease may occur in almost any area in which lymph nodes are normally found. The most common locations are thorax (63%), abdomen (11%) and axilla (4%). We report two separate histologic types of Castleman's disease which were rare in the literature, mimicking sigmoid colon tumor and Hodgkin lymphoma. The diagnostic and therapeutic aspects of this rare entity is discussed.
