Core Tip

Core Tip: Multiple gastrointestinal (GI) hemangiomas are rare in clinical practice, and the current treatment method for lager GI hemangiomas is surgery. In this case, multipoint injection of polidocanol was used to treat gastroesophageal hemangiomas. We used a reasonable dose of polidocanol and applied the treatment using a transparent cap. This sclerotherapy method successfully treated a patient with multiple hemangiomas without any complications.
