Özet
Colon hemangiomas are rare benign vascular lesions which are usually seen in teenagers. The frequent presentation is repetitive painless rectal bleeding. Colonic hemangiomas are occasionally found in the rectosigmoid area. A 62-year-old male patient was admitted to the hospital with the complaints of mechanical bowel obstruction. The radiological imaging techniques revealed a transverse colon tumor. Consequently, the patient was operated, and transverse colectomy and end-to-end anastomosis were performed. No postoperative complications occurred. The pathologic examination revealed cavernous hemangioma of the transverse colon. This report describes a very rare case of bowel obstruction due to colonic hemangioma.
