Vascular ectasia is a common cause of lower gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding in older patients. They typically present as flat or slightly raised fern-like bright red lesions. We report a rare case of a vascular ectasia presenting as a pedunculated polypoid lesion in a young patient with rectal prolapse. The pedunculated polyp was removed using hot snare polypectomy. This case highlights a unique presentation of a rare lesion and endoscopic management of these lesions.
血管扩张是老年患者下消化道出血的常见原因。它们通常表现为扁平或略隆起的蕨类样鲜红色病变。我们报告了一例罕见病例,一名患有直肠脱垂的年轻患者出现带蒂息肉样病变的血管扩张。使用热圈套息肉切除术切除了带蒂息肉。该病例突出了一种罕见病变的独特表现以及这些病变的内镜治疗。
