Hemangiomas of the small intestine are rare lesions, of particular importance to the radiologist since they severely test his diagnostic capabilities. None of the common fluoroscopic procedures are so time-consuming and so likely to be unrewarding as are studies of the small intestine. Discovery of a benign neoplasm is one of the rarer potential rewards of this method of examination (3–5). A full collective report on gastrointestinal hemangiomas by Kaijser (9) in 1936 introduced the classification that has proved most useful: 1. Multiple phlebectasia 2. Cavernous hemangioma (a) Diffuse infiltrating (b) Circumscribed (often polypoid) 3. Capillary hemangioma 4. Angiomatosis In a recent comprehensive review of tumors of the small intestine, River et al. (14) analyzed the data of 1,399 cases recorded in the literature. They stressed the frequency and importance of complications, especially intussusception, obstruction, and intraluminal bleeding. Of the 1,399 tumors, only 79 had been correctly diagnosed before operation, in each instance on the basis of roentgenologic evidence. In the collected series there were 127 vascular tumors, forming 9 per cent of the entire number. In only 3 of these had a preoperative radiologic diagnosis of benign tumor been made. Among 20 cases of benign tumors of the small intestine seen at the Ochsner Clinic and Ochsner Foundation Hospital between 1942 and 1955, one was a jejunal hemangioma, which was dearly portrayed roentgenologically. This was of the capillary type, a variety infrequently found in the small intestine (1, 5, 12, 13) and so rarely visualized radiologically that the case is considered worthy of report. P. A. L., a 16-year-old girl, daughter of a white farmer, came to the Ochsner Clinic on Feb. 9, 1950, complaining of abdominal cramps. She had been anemic since the age of seven years, when she was thought to have had an attack of acute nephritis. Intermittent episodes of abdominal pain had led to an appendectomy six months before admission. Physical examination revealed pallor and slight generalized edema. Hematologic studies indicated only severe hypochromic microcytic anemia, apparently resulting from chronic loss of blood. The hematocrit reading was 26 per cent, hemoglobin 5.6 gm. per 100 ml., and red blood cell count 4,100,000 per cu. mm. Mean corpuscular volume was 63 cubic microns and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration 21.5 per cent. Fecal examination revealed a trace of occult blood. Roentgenologic studies of the chest, urinary tract, and colon revealed no disease. The esophagus, stomach, and duodenum appeared normal roentgenologically. Examination of the small intestine, Feb. 13 and Feb. 15, showed several soft polypoid filling defects in a segment of the mid-jejunum (Fig. 1). There was neither narrowing nor deformity of the intestine, and no evidence of obstruction or intussusception. The delayed film showed a cluster of peculiar, rounded, barium-coated lesions in the left side of the abdomen.
