Angiodysplasia (AD) is a degenerative disorder in which a vascular malformation extends
to the submucosa, the mucosa, or both. In 1956, Rutter
1
described the histopathologic diagnosis of AD in the GI tract. In 1960, a case of
AD associated with GI bleeding was reported by Margulis et al.

The number of reports on AD in the stomach and lower intestinal tract has increased
because of the use of advanced endoscopic and angiographic techniques.To read this article in full you will need to make a payment
