Haematoma of the sigmoid colon secondary to Ehlers Danlos Syndrome presenting as a colonic tumour

Abstract

Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (EDS) is a collective term for a number of connective tissue disorders. Vascular rupture and dissection are well-documented sequelae as is gastrointestinal perforation. We present a rare presentation where dissection of the bowel wall presented as a suspected sigmoid colon tumour.
