Polypoid angiodysplasia: an unusual cause of lower gastrointestinal bleeding

Abstract

Angiodysplasia is one of the most leading causes of lower gastrointestinal bleeding in elderly patients. Polypoid angiodysplasia is extremely rare; however, in the literature, a few cases have been reported as single polypoid lesion from Eastern countries. The lesions in our case were multiple polypoid, octopus-like, and were associated with diverticula. We managed to remove the polypoid angiodysplasia using snare polypectomy. This is the first reported case of multiple polypoid angiodysplasia associated with diverticula.
