Atypical angiodysplasia with varicose appearance

      Angiodysplasia (AD) is a degenerative disorder in which a vascular malformation extends to the submucosa, the mucosa, or both. In 1956, Rutter
      • Rutter AG.
      Submucous telangiectasis of the colon.
      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.
      • Margulis AR
      • Heinbecker P
      • Bernard HR
      • Louis S.
      Operative mesenteric arteriography in the search for the site of bleeding in unexplained gastrointestinal hemorrhage.
      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.
