Abstract

The authors report a new case of water-melon stomach, without portal hypertension, and responsible for a iron deficiency anemia cured by antrectomy. Water-melon stomach is a particular form of gastric antral vascular ectasia, characterized by a specific and striking endoscopic aspect. The diagnostic, histologic, pathogenic and therapeutic aspects are reviewed.
