A case of malignant lymphoma accompanied with arterial bleeding from the gastric lesion.
We experienced a case of malignant lymphoma with gastric and ileo-caecal lesions. The case was 80 year-old Japanese female with a chief complaint of anorexia. The patient had gross hematemesis on the 4th day of admission. By emergency gastroendoscopy, multiple small gastric ulcers which have sharp marginal prominences were observed. Pulsating arterial bleeding was observed and we successfully achieved hemostasis by topical injection of pure ethanol under gastroendoscopy. Biopsy specimen of that lesion showed it was malignant lymphoma.
