The histological diagnosis of angiodysplasia is one of the most difficult problems in G.I.T. pathology. These lesions are presumed to be degenerative in nature, commonly found in population over 60 years of age and rarely in young patients. So, diagnosis of angiodysplasia in this age group is even more difficult. We present a case of massive bleeding from colonic angiodysplasia in a 22-year-old female to increase awareness of this uncommon but potentially life threatening cause of lower intestinal bleeding in younger age group.
血管发育异常的组织学诊断是胃肠病理学中最困难的问题之一。这些病变被认为本质上是退行性的,常见于60岁以上人群,在年轻患者中很少见。因此,在这个年龄组中诊断血管发育异常更加困难。我们报告一例22岁女性因结肠血管发育异常导致大量出血的病例,以提高对这种在较年轻年龄组中虽不常见但可能危及生命的下消化道出血原因的认识。
