Unveiling Dieulafoy’s Lesion: A Case Report on Upper Gastrointestinal Bleeding Caused by Dieulafoy’s Lesion

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Dieulafoy’s lesion is a rare entity, mostly found in stomach (53%), followed by the duodenum or jejunum (33%) and lastly colon or rectum (13%). Although relatively infrequent, Dieulafoy’s lesion indicates an important etiology of acute gastrointestinal bleeding because of its predisposition to cause massive, life-threatening and recurrent bleeding. We report a female patient with clinical presentation of hematemesis and melena for 2 day’s duration.
