This paper describes a case of intramural hamatoma of the colon occurring spontancously in a patient with hæmophilia so mild that the diagnosis was unsuspected before operation. Successful resection was achieved with a minimun of blood loss. During subsequent surgery, it was necessary to control bleeding with repeated infusions of cryoprecipitate.
