Hemangiomas are mostly benign vascular tumors that histologically originate from the embryonic mesoderm, occurring more frequently on the skin, however, they can appear in other organs such as the gastrointestinal tract, causing functional impairment. Hemangiomas in the gastrointestinal tract are a rare occurrence, especially in infants, and may manifest symptoms resulting from digestive bleeding and impaired development. A case report was made of an infant patient admitted to a pediatric hospital in the city of João Pessoa - PB, who presented with gastrointestinal bleeding and who had a diagnosis of transverse colon hemangioma during the operation. The objective of this study was to describe a case of transverse colon hemangioma in an infant, through the description of clinical history data, diagnostic imaging methods performed, clinical support procedures and surgical treatments instituted during hospitalization, aiming to help in suspecting, in reasoning clinical and pathological diagnosis. It is a descriptive, documentary research, with a quantitative approach, of the case report type. The sample of this study is composed of 01 (one) patient. The data were collected directly from the medical record, using a specific collection instrument. The research risks involve the possibility of discomfort and embarrassment by the participant and their family members, as well as the possibility of leaking information contained in the medical record to third parties. The result of this study was the elaboration of a case report based on the description of a rare pathology that occurred in an infant. It is concluded, from this case study, that gastrointestinal hemangiomas are rare and difficult to diagnose, and should be considered as a differential diagnosis of the causes of digestive bleeding in infants, being important to investigate these injuries due to potential complications, such as intestinal perforation and anemia, which can impair the growth and development of these children.
