    Abstract

    BACKGROUND:

    Benign tumors are a rare cause of gastrointestinal hemorrhage of which angioleiomyomas constitute a very small minority. They have been reported in literature to present with volvulus, bleeding or intussusceptions.

    CASE PRESENTATION:

    An interesting case of a patient presenting with gastrointestinal bleeding from an underlying angioleiomyoma is discussed along with its management options.

    CONCLUSION:

    Angioleiomyoma though rare can be managed successfully by surgical and/or minimally invasive endovascular procedures.
