A Rare Case of Kissing Gastric Ulcers Secondary to Non-steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drug (NSAID) Intake

Peptic ulcer disease is a heterogeneous disease caused by the imbalance between mucosal protective and aggressive factors.

description Peptic ulcer disease is a heterogeneous disease caused by the imbalance between mucosal protective and aggressive factors. Such ulcers are common in the anterior wall of the duodenum and gastric antrum. Kissing ulcers, although commonly reported in the duodenum, are rarely seen in the stomach. We present a rare case of an 85-year-old lady who had an index presentation of sudden onset hematemesis following ibuprofen intake. Endoscopy revealed kissing gastric ulcers, which are extremely rare secondary to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. She had complete healing after treatment with proton pump inhibitors.
