Abstract
Cavernous hemangioma of the rectum are uncommon benign vascular lesions. Misdiagnosis often occurs because of lack of awareness of classic clinical features. Endoscopy, plain x-ray abdomen, barium enema, and selective angiography are useful means of investigation for accurate diagnosis. Three cases of rectal haemangioma are presented that were earlier misdiagnosed as ulcerative colitis.
