Dieulafoy's lesion of the anal canal: report of a case.

Abstract

Sclerotherapy, alcohol and epinephrine injection, thermocoagulation and selective arterial embolization are the options of therapeutic endoscopy and interventional radiology. As for surgical management, oversewing is an alternative technique. However, in our opinion, because of the recurrent and life-threatening manner of this arterial bleeding pattern, local excision, if possible, is the most reliable management of the disease.
