These are abnormal collections of blood vessels within the gastrointestinal tract. These are also called arteriovenous malformations. Such lesions may cause slow bleeding. This can result in iron deficiency anemia. When these lesions are located within the gastrointestinal tract cauterization during endoscopy can be very effective treatment. These can recur especially if associated with chronic renal failure.
