Dieulafoy’s lesion is rare cause of life-threatening gastrointestinal bleeding. Mortality is high if not early diagnosed and treated properly. Thus, it must be excluded and treated in patients with GIB as fast as possible. These lesions are usually observed in upper gastrointestinal system and mostly in the stomach. It is very rare in rectum. Here we report a rare case of lower gastrointestinal bleeding caused by rectal Dieulafoy’s lesion.
