Abstract
Acute or chronic gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding and iron deficiency anemia may result from GI angiomata. In this report, specific angiomatouw lesions discussed are Osler-Weber-Rendu (O-W-R) telangiectasia and non O-W-R angiomata including telangiectasia and angiodysplasia. O-W-R syndrome, a disorder of dominant inheritance, was diagnosed in our series (1) when patients had a positive family history; mucous membrane, tongue, and digital telangiectasia; and endoscopically documented GI bleeding from telangiectasia.
