Diffuse cavernous hemangioma of the rectum (DCHR) is a rare benign tumor of vascular origin. It affects mainly young adults. The clinical presentation is non-specific, therefore many patients are incorrectly diagnosed for several years. Imaging features may be helpful. CT can be predictive by showing phleboliths and MRI seems to be valuable and specific enough to make the diagnosis with certainty. We present a case of a 53-year old male patient with a history of recurrent and painless rectal bleeding evolving for 5 years who was finally diagnosed of diffuse cavernous hemangioma of the rectum.
