<abstract language="eng">Dieulafoy¡¯s lesion (DL) is a relatively rare, but potentially life-threatening condition. It accounts for 1-2% of acute Gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding. DL is an uncommon, but important cause of gastrointestinal bleeding in which hemorrhage occurs from a pinpoint, non-ulcerated arterial lesion.
