Jejunal polypoid arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) and jejunojejunal intussusceptions are both rare. Here, we present the case of a 61-year-old woman who suffered intermittent episodes of abdominal pain over the course of 13 years. A computed tomography scan of her abdomen and pelvis revealed a distal jejunojejunal intussusception. A suspected low density mass was observed at the tip of the intussusception. Treatment comprised laparoscopic small bowel resection with end-to-end jejunostomy. The final diagnosis was a polypoid AVM measuring 5×3.5×3 cm. We suggest that polypoid AVM should be considered as a differential diagnosis in patients presenting with small intestinal neoplasms.

Unlabelled: Vascular ectasias are characterized by abnormal blood vessel enlargement and presumed to be caused by degenerative processes. About 3% of lower gastrointestinal bleeding is caused by it. On endoscopy, colonic arteriovenous malformations are frequently solitary, sizable, flat, or raised red lesions.

Hemangiomas are benign blood vessel and capillary tumor growths which are widespread in many organs but extremely rare in the bladder, making up just 0.6% of all bladder tumors. To the best of our knowledge, few cases of bladder hemangioma are associated with pregnancy in the literature, and no bladder hemangiomas have been discovered incidentally after abortion.
