World J Gastroenterol. 2009 Jul 14;15(26):3319-21. doi: 10.3748/wjg.15.3319.

Abstract

A cavernous hemangioma of the cecum is a rare vascular malformation but is clinically important because of the possibility of massive bleeding. We report a case of a large cavernous hemangioma with pericolic infiltration in the cecum which was removed successfully using minimally invasive surgery.
