A Bleeding Dieulafoy's Lesion in the Anal Canal

Dieulafoy’s lesion (DL) is a dilated aberrant submucosal vessel that erodes through the overlying epithelium in the absence of a primary ulcer. It is a known cause of gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding and commonly located in the lesser curvature of the stomach, but it is rare in the anal canal. We repo...

description Dieulafoy’s lesion (DL) is a dilated aberrant submucosal vessel that erodes through the overlying epithelium in the absence of a primary ulcer. It is a known cause of gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding and commonly located in the lesser curvature of the stomach, but it is rare in the anal canal. We report a unique case of a middle-aged man presenting with lower GI bleeding secondary to an anal DL diagnosed by colonoscopy, managed successfully with endoscopic hemoclips.
