A rare cause of intestinal bleeding in a pediatric patient

Neuromuscular and vascular hamartoma (NMVH) is an extremely rare entity of the small intestine, presenting radiologically with polyp-like lesions or stenoses and clinically with non-specific abdominal symptoms or gastrointestinal bleeding. Surgical resection is curative. We hereby report the case of an ileal NMVH in a pediatric patient, detected by capsule endoscopy and subsequently removed surgically, after localization of the lesion with intraoperative enteroscopy.
