On examination, the patient was thin built and pale. Endoscopy was done, which revealed nodular hyperemic mucosa seen circumferentially at the lower end of esophagus 35 cm from incisor teeth. A diagnosis of Barretts esophagus was made and biopsy was taken. Histopathology revealed lobular capillary hemangioma of esophagus. Immunohistochemistry with CD34 confirmed the diagnosis of lobular capillary hemangioma. Surgical resection of the lesion was done.
