ABSTRACT
Haemangiomas of small bowel are rare benign tumors. They present diversely, with intestinal obstruction being rare. We describe a two years old female baby with intestinal obstruction. Exploration revealed a diffusely infiltrating haemangioma of middle one third of ileum. Resection of affected segment and end to end bowel anastomosis was made. Post- operative recovery was un- eventful. Histopathological report was consistent with capillary haemangioma of small intestine
