Florid vascular proliferation due to focal necrotizing enterocolitis in infancy: A case report

Vascular anomalies rarely emerge in the gastrointestinal tract. The most prevalent benign vascular lesions include angiodysplasia, Dieulafoy’s lesion, vascular ectasia, vascular malformations, and hemangiomas. Florid vascular proliferation (FVP) is also a rare benign vascular lesion associated with intussusception in adults. In infants, there are only a few cases in literature. Although FVP usually presents as a mass in the intestine, it is a nonneoplastic lesion and is thought to occur due to a reactive process. In this study, we present a case of FVP due to an attack of focal necrotizing enterocolitis in a 10-month-old infant.
