present a rare case of angiodysplasia of left colon in a young male that landed him in APR with clinical,
pathophysiological, radiological, histopathological attributes.
Materials And Method: A male patient of 25 year age presented with complaints of intermittent bleeding per
rectum and generalized weakness from one month. After Clinical and Radiological examination it was found
to have vascular ectasia involving mid transverse colon, left colon and the rectum coming down to anal verge.
Results And Conclusions: Biopsy of resected segment came to be angiodysplasia with external surface of
specimen showing dilation of multiple vascular channels in entire length up to anal verge.It commonly occurs
in old age but while exploring a young patient for lower gastrointestinal tract bleeding, and congestive changes
are found in left colon possibility of angiodysplasia should also be kept in mind.
