title: Dieulafoy's lesion of the esophagus correctly diagnosed and successfully treated by the endoscopic injection of N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate.
abstract: Dieulafoy's lesion is an arterial malformation in the subumucosal layer of the gastrointestinal tract that can cause massive bleeding. The esophagus is not a common location for this lesion. We present here a first report of Dieulafoy's lesion of the esophagus correctly diagnosed and successfully treated by the endoscopic injection of N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate.
