Overview

History

Although some cases present with a history of black, tarry stool (melena), the blood loss can be subtle.

Symptoms

Although some cases present with black, tarry stool (melena), the blood loss can be subtle, with the anemia symptoms predominating. Often, in elderly patients, the symptoms are weakness, fatigue, and shortness of breath due to anemia. There may not be any signs of bleeding directly from the colon. Others may have occasional mild or severe bleeding episodes with bright red blood coming from the rectum. There is no pain associated with angiodysplasia.
