Abstract
Two familial cases of varices confined to the small and the large bowel are reported. Both patients were diagnosed in advanced age because of recurrent intestinal bleeding. The study of the entire gastrointestinal tract revealed an unexpected wide involvement and the primary nature of the varices. Moreover, both patients had coexistent adenomatous polyps.
