A 62-year-old male presenting with lymphedema at the left lower extremity was diagnosed as prostatic carcinoma by an ultrasound-guided needle biopsy. Six days after the biopsy procedure, he developed severe hematochesia. Colonoscopy revealed an oozing visible vessel at the anterior rectal wall, a few centimeters from the anus. Endoscopic hemostasis with %1 athexysclerol was applicated with success. Rebleeding with same severity as the first one occurred 48 hours after the first bleeding and endoscopic hemostasis was successful again. Follow-up was uneventful.
