Abstract
Angiodysplasia (vascular malformations) of the colon is extremely rare in children,
and, as in adults, present with lower gastrointestinal hemorrhage. Here we report
an unusual pediatric case of angiodysplasia of the terminal ileum and cecum presenting
as an acute abdomen with radiological features suggestive of lymphoma.
