Overview

Angiodysplasia must be differentiated from other diseases that cause hematochezia, melena, and iron deficiency anemia, such as hemorrhoids, diverticular disease, and colon cancer.

Differentiating Angiodysplasia from other Diseases

Angiodysplasia must be differentiated from other diseases that cause hematochezia, melena, and iron deficiency anemia such as:

Diseases Clinical manifestations Para-clinical findings Gold standard
Symptoms Physical examination
Lab Findings Imaging Histopathology
Abdominal pain Lower GI Bleed Changes in bowel habits, weight loss Physical exam 1 Physical exam 2 Physical exam 3 Lab 1 Lab 2 Lab 3 Imaging 1 Imaging 2 Imaging 3
Diverticulitis[1][1][2][3][4] + + - Left lower quadrant abdominal tenderness Bowel sounds hypoactive/normoactive Fever Leukocytosis Elevated ESR and CRP Radiological test of choice - CT of abdomen and pelvis with contrast Abdominal Ultrasound MRI abdomen Colonoscopy after resolution of inflammation
Hemorrhoids[5][6][7][8][9] - (anal pain) + - Skin tags Fistulas or fissures Prolapsed hemorrhoid External hemorrhoids - distal to dentate line.

Internal hemorrhoids - proximal to dentate line.

Anoscopy
Colon cancer[10][11][12][13][14] +/- +/- + Lmyphadenopathies Abdominal mass Hepatomegaly (metastasis) Tumor marker - CEA CT with contrast chest, abdomen and pelvis Majority of colorectal cancers are carcinomas. Colonoscopy
Massive upper GI bleed + + - Hemodynamic instability Upper abdominal tenderness Pale skin Acute bleeding - normocytic anemia Elevated BUN-to-Creatinine ratio >30:1 CT angiography Endoscopy
Inflammatory bowel disease + +/- + Tachycardia, fever, Occult blood on digital rectal exam Anal fistulas, abscesses Microcytic anemia Leukocytosis Elevated ESR, CRP Abdominal X ray - free air, bowel obstruction, toxic megacolon Barium studies Ultrasound/CT/MRI UC- crypt abscess

Crohn's- transmural involvement, granulomas

Endoscopy
Angiodysplasia - Occult - Signs of anemia Systolic ejection murmur (if aortic stenosis) Rarely, orthostasis or hypotension Microcytic anemia Renal and liver function tests Coagulation studies Radionuclide scanning CTA/MRA Upper GI endoscopy and colonoscopy Tortuous, dilated veins, venules and capillaries in the colonic mucosa and submucosa Endoscopy
