Type 1: Angioectasias:


Angiodysplasia may be classified according to endoscopic appearance  into 4 subtypes: Type 1, Type 2, Type 3, and Type 4.
Type 1 a - punctulate erythema (< 1 mm), with or without oozing


OR
Type 1 b - patchy erythema (a few mm), with or without oozing


[Disease name] may be classified into [large number > 6] subtypes based on [classification method 1], [classification method 2], and [classification method 3]. [Disease name] may be classified into several subtypes based on [classification method 1], [classification method 2], and [classification method 3].
Type 2: Dieulafoy's lesions:


OR
Type 2 a - punctulate lesions (< 1 mm), with pulsatile bleeding


Based on the duration of symptoms, [disease name] may be classified as either acute or chronic.
Type 2b - pulsatile red protrusion, without surrounding venous dilatation


OR
Type 3 - pulsatile red protrusion, with surrounding venous dilatation


If the staging system involves specific and characteristic findings and features: According to the [staging system + reference], there are [number] stages of [malignancy name] based on the [finding1], [finding2], and [finding3].

Classification

One system of classification is based on location, size, and number of angiodysplasias. [1]

Classification of gastrointestinal angiodysplasia
Location Size Number of lesions
Gastric Minute (<2 mm in diameter) Unique (n = 1)
Duodenal Intermediate (2 to 5 mm) Multiple (n = 2 to 10)
Jejunal Large (>5 mm) Diffuse (n > 10)
Colonic
For example, "D-S2-N3" signifies multiple angiodysplasias of intermediate size in the duodenum.

Another system of classification uses endoscopic techniques to classify angiodysplasia depending on size, bleeding and surrounding venous dilatation. [2]

Type 1: Angioectasias:

Type 1 a - punctulate erythema (< 1 mm), with or without oozing

Type 1 b - patchy erythema (a few mm), with or without oozing

Type 2: Dieulafoy's lesions:

Type 2 a - punctulate lesions (< 1 mm), with pulsatile bleeding

Type 2b - pulsatile red protrusion, without surrounding venous dilatation

Type 3 - pulsatile red protrusion, with surrounding venous dilatation

Type 4 - other lesions not classified into any of the above categories.

Classification

Type 1: Angioectasias: Punctate erythema with/ without oozing

Type 2: Dieulafoy's lesions: Punctate lesions with pulsatile bleeding

Type3: AV malformations : Pulsatile red protrusion, without surrounding venous dilation

Type 4: Unclassifiable : Lesions that cannot be classified in one of the above categories.
