Key Points

To highlight the connection between unexplained rectal bleeding and vascular malformations in children.
Descriptive case report of a child with recurrent hematochezia and extensive pelvic venous malformation.
Multidisciplinary diagnostic approach including imaging and clinical evaluation.
Identified a significant association between the vascular malformation and episodes of rectal bleeding.
Emphasized the importance of recognizing this association to prevent misdiagnosis.

Implication

This report demonstrates a link between rectal bleeding and a vascular malformation, suggesting the need for careful diagnosis.

Abstract

The coexistence of unexplained rectal bleeding and a cutaneous vascular malformation should raise suspicion of an underlying combined vascular malformation. Awareness of this association and a multidisciplinary diagnostic approach are essential to avoid misdiagnosis and ensure appropriate patient management.
