Hemangioma is a congenital hamartomatous lesion that originates from embryonic sequestrations of mesodermal tissue. Gastrointestinal hemangioma is rare, Mesenteric hemangiomas are even rarer. These types of hemangiomas are usually presented with abdominal pain, abdominal mass, or even intestinal obstruction, and rarely with lower gastrointestinal bleeding in the pediatric patients. We are presenting a child with a history of recurrent lower gastrointestinal bleeding. Explorative laparotomy and histopathological examination reveals gastrointestinal and mesenteric cavernous hemangioma.
