Cutis. 1989 Apr;43(4):371-2.

Abstract

A 70-year-old man with a history of hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasis was found to have occult blood in his stool after a routine physical examination. Endoscopic evaluation revealed a small, sessile tumor that was consistent with well-differentiated adenocarcinoma of the sigmoid colon on histologic examination.
