Abstract

A 74-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with severe anemia. Endoscopic examination revealed longitudinal red stripes and diffuse erythematous spots indicating dilated vessels in the gastric antrum. Biopsy specimen demonstrated dilated vessels in the proper gastric mucosal layer, leading to a diagnosis of gastric antral vascular ectasia (GAVE). She had undergone upper gastrointestinal endoscopic examination 10 months before admission, but these abnormal findings were not observed. However, she had atrophic gastritis at that time, mainly in the gastric body, and this was also observed at admission. Laboratory studies showed hypergastrinemia and positive titrate of antiparietal cell antibody, and she was diagnosed as GAVE with type A gastritis. Endoscopic laser coagulation was performed. After 3 sessions, the dilated vessels in the antrum were almost obliterated and her anemia improved subsequently.
