Abstract

Upper gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding is usually seen secondary to esophageal varices or peptic ulcer disease, but at times, unusual causes can be encountered. We present one such case of a young 30-year-old gentleman who presented with recurrent episodes of upper GI bleeding secondary to gastric adenomyoma (GA), a rare, benign gastric tumor that usually remains asymptomatic or presents with vague abdominal symptoms.
