Hemangiomas of the small intestine are rare, accounting for only 0.05% of all intestinal neoplasms (Jarvi et al. J Pediatr Gastroenterol Nutr. 2008;46:593-597). The jejunum is the most common site of involvement in the small intestine (Levy et al. Am J Roentgenol. 2001;177:1073-1081). Small bowel hemangiomas are most commonly manifested by gastrointestinal bleeding, abdominal pain, obstruction, or intussusception. There are very few reported cases in the literature of hemangiomatosis presenting with perforation, and only 1 previously reported case of perforation in the ileum. We present a rare case of a 5-week-old female with diffuse hemangiomatosis of the ileum presenting with multiple ileal perforations and peritonitis.

This is a comprehensive review of the literature, starting from a new pediatric case diagnosed through exploratory laparotomy after complex imaging techniques failed.

Described by Bean in 1958 the Blue rubber bleb nevus syndrome is a viscero-cutaneous hemangiomatosis, a rare condition associating typical cutaneous and visceral hemangiomas of the cavernous type. We report the case of a four year old boy who presented a microcytic and hyperchromic anemia. The previous medical history of this boy was characterized by a large cavernous angioma on the right hand operated on the at the age of three months.
