Appendectomy is one of the most common procedures in surgical emergency practice and also the most common cause of abdominal exploration. Hemangiomas of gastrointestinal tract are significantly rare. They are dangerous since they may cause massive or occult gastrointestinal bleeding. Patients may also present with abdominal pain, bowel obstruction, intussusception or perforation. Here we present a case who was incidentally diagnosed with multiple small bowel hemangiomas during abdominal exploration for acute appendecitis.
