Intraluminal duodenal diverticulum presenting as gastrointestinal bleeding after NSAID use.
Intraluminal duodenal diverticuli are rare. They usually present with obstruction; presentation with GI bleeding is very rare. We report a 51-year-old man who presented with melena after NSAID intake; the diverticulum was excised surgically.
