Gastric antral vascular ectasia. Endoscopic view of the antrum (final portion of stomach), affected by gastric antral vascular ectasia (GAVE). GAVE, or watermelon stomach, is associated with painless upper gastrointestinal bleeding. It is treated with laser and cauterisation. Sometimes removal of the distal stomach is necessary. It is not associated with cancer. - Stock Image C025/0085

We have encountered five cases of chronic iron deficiency anaemia due to bleeding from gastric antral vascular ectasia (watermelon stomach). Two cases were associated with a lymphoma and in three cases there was evidence of portal hypertension. Two patients were treated conservatively by blood transfusions. The other patients required either surgery or tranexamic acid or endoscopic laser therapy to control the chronic haemorrhage.. ...

Editor,-Spahr and colleagues recently published a case series which described the poor response of a haemorrhage from gastric antral vascular ectasia (GAVE) to portal decompression by insertion of a transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) (Gut1999;44:739-742). However, the authors claim that this indicates the absence of a relation between GAVE and portal hypertension is seriously flawed. The failure of this condition to respond to portal decompression cannot exclude a primary role for portal hypertension in the pathogenesis of the disorder. Furthermore, this study would have been more informative if aortoportography-that is, superior mesenteric and splenic angiography with venous phase imaging, had been performed in order to determine the pattern of portosystemic shunting before and after TIPS insertion. The authors have not addressed the question of whether portosystemic shunts supply the vascular lesions of GAVE; it would have been helpful if they had performed angiography in at ...

NIH Rare Diseases : 50 watermelon stomach is a condition in which the lining of the stomach bleeds, causing it to look like the characteristic stripes of a watermelon when viewed by endoscopy. although it can develop in men and women of all ages, watermelon stomach is most commonly observed in older women (over age 70 years). signs and symptoms of watermelon stomach include blood in the stool, hematemesis (vomiting blood) and anemia. the exact cause of watermelon stomach is unknown; however, it is often diagnosed in people with other chronic (long-term) conditions such as cirrhosis (scarring of the liver and poor liver function), autoimmune disease, systemic sclerosis, and crest syndrome. treatment consists of surgery and/or medications to stop or control the bleeding. last updated: 8/2/2016 ...

Our study has several limitations. Few articles were included in the analysis. However, this is because of the small number of RCTs published on this subject. All included studies were conducted in Egypt, which has one of the highest cirrhosis-related death rates in the world [51]. Nonetheless, our results were consistent with previous observational studies conducted in other countries as well [32,33,35]. Not all outcomes were evaluated in every trial. Significant heterogeneity was identified among the studies, which might be explained by the following reasons: the severity of the liver disease varied among the studies, as shown in Supplementary Table 4, and different APC settings along with a variable number of endoscopic bands applied in each session. These factors may have influenced the outcomes. One of the included studies was performed in children with liver disease [39]. However, the results were consistent with those of other studies, probably due to the same pathophysiology in patients ...

Results Fifty SSc patients were diagnosed with GAVE. Seventeen patients (34%) suffered of symptomatic anemia and were treated with argon plasma coagulation (APC) for a mean (SD) of 4.5 (4.3) sessions per patient. The mean (SD) hemoglobin was 9.4 (1.7) gr% in the group who required endotherapy compared to 11.5 (1.3) in the group which did not need any intervention. Four patients needed more than 6 sessions of treatment. Mean (SD) follow up was 4.1 (2.4) years. Nine patients required a total of 73 packed blood cells units and another 4 had intravenous iron replacement. Four patients died during the first 2 years after diagnosis, none of them due to bleeding complications. None of the patients that survived more than 2 years required further endotherapy or blood transfusions. No significant complications of APC occurred. Interestingly, all those who survived,had received immunotherapy with cyclophosphamide or mycophenolate mofetil due to multisystem involvement and disease activity. ...

Gastric antral vascular ectasia (GAVE) and solitary rectal ulcer syndrome (SRUS) are both mentioned in the literature as rare causes of iron deficiency anemia and gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding. GAVE accounts for up to 4 % of upper non-variceal GI bleeding; SRUS is a rare benign disorder that presents with rectal bleeding. We present the case of a 75-year-old patient who was admitted to our facility with anemia. In the same patient, we encountered chronic bleeding from GAVE and SRUS. Both diagnoses were treated endoscopically: GAVE by argon plasma coagulation and a subsequent treatment with proton pump inhibitors and SRUS by adrenaline injection and clipping, consecutively treated with mesalazine enemas ...

Gastric antral vascular ectasia (GAVE) is a rare, but serious, cause of upper gastrointestinal bleeding (4% of all gastric hemorrhages). The endoscopic findings are characteristic: linear images, oriented radially and converging on the pylorus (watermelon stomach1,4).. This condition is associated with underlying chronic diseases, mostly with liver cirrhosis. In autoimmune diseases, it is related to the presence of Raynauds phenomenon, and is the form most widely reported of the limited subtype of scleroderma (calcinosis, Raynauds phenomenon, esophageal dysmotility, sclerodactyly, telangiectasia [CREST syndrome]).5,6 The largest series of patients with GAVE includes 45 individuals, 62% of whom also had a connective tissue disease, predominantly with Raynauds phenomenon (31%) and sclerodactyly (20%).7. The etiology and pathogenesis of GAVE are unknown; one hypothesis is that the histological changes, especially in the lamina propria, are due to a fibromuscular proliferation, vascular ...

The etiology of gastric antral vascular ectasia (GAVE) syndrome or gastric hyperplastic polyps (HPs) is not fully understood. We report a case of gastric HP arising in a patient treated with argon plasma coagulation (APC) for GAVE syndrome. Despite unclear etiologic progression, this and previously reported cases suggest a temporal relationship between the treatment of GAVE and HP. A 68-year-old male with a history of coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure and diabetes type II who initially presented with symptomatic anemia 2 weeks after starting aspirin and clopidogrel therapy. Diagnostic esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) demonstrated diffuse GAVE. He was treated with 5 APC treatments, at 6-week intervals, over a 30 weeks period. 16 months after the initial APC treatment, an EGD performed secondary to persistent anemia demonstrated innumerable, large, bleeding polyps in the gastric antrum. Biopsy performed at that time confirmed hyperplastic gastric polyps. It has been proposed that HPs are

The etiology of hepatic hemangiomas is poorly defined. They are thought to arise either as congenital lesions that enlarge due to vascular ectasia or as vascular enlargement from previously normal hepatic vasculature. The blood supply of hepatic hemangiomas is derived from the hepatic artery. Commonly seen characteristics suggest a role of estrogens in their pathogenesis. These include female predominance, increase in size during pregnancy, and change in size while taking oral contraceptive pills (OCPs), as well as association of estrogen replacement therapy with hemangioma recurrence.8-10 The association of hormones and hemangioma does, however, remains controversial. For example, a case-control study showed no association between liver hemangioma and a history of OCP use.11 However, Glinkova et al. performed a prospective evaluation of 94 women with 181 hemangiomas and concluded that hormone therapy increased the risk of hemangioma enlargement.7 Although the association of hormone therapy and ...

Here we report that Notch signaling controls gastric epithelial cell homeostasis by regulating antral stem cell function. Our lineage tracing studies in adult NIP1::CreERT2 mice showed that antral stem cells are actively signaling from the Notch1 receptor, thus demonstrating that the Notch pathway directly targets these cells under normal homeostatic conditions. Manipulation of Notch signaling showed that Notch functions to promote overall stem cell proliferation. Blocking Notch by pharmacologic or genetic means reduced stem cell proliferation, while genetic activation of Notch signaling in LGR5+ stem cells increased the number of proliferating stem cells. Expression of the Notch target gene Olfm4 paralleled the changes in stem cell proliferation, suggesting that it may be an antral stem cell marker, similar to what has been reported for LGR5+ stem cells in intestine (van der Flier et al, 2009; VanDussen et al, 2012). Analysis of gastric organoids demonstrated that Notch signaling is intrinsic ...

If the discharge is brown, green or cheesy, its likely you have a harmless condition called duct ectasia.. Duct ectasia tends to affect women approaching the menopause. As the breasts age, the milk ducts behind the nipple get shorter and wider, and may produce a discharge. This is a normal, age-related change and nothing to worry about.. A lump can sometimes be felt behind the nipple, which is just scar tissue or perhaps a dilated duct, and the nipple sometimes becomes inverted.. This condition is harmless and tends to clear up without treatment. It doesnt increase your risk of developing breast cancer in the future. However, its important to go back to your GP if you develop any new symptoms.. ...

Rete tubular ectasia is a benign condition, usually found in older men, involving numerous small, tubular cystic structures within the rete testis. The formation of cysts in the rete testis is associated with the obstruction of the efferent ducts, which connect the rete testis with the head of the epididymis. They are often bilateral. The condition can be detected with sonography. It is commonly associated with epididymal abnormalities, such as spermatocele, epididymal cyst, and epididymitis. The condition shares a common location with cystic dysplasia of the testis and intratesticular cysts. Unlike cystic neoplasms, they dont present specific tumor markers. Typically none is required, but they can be treated surgically if symptomatic.
