Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Dieulafoy's ulcer is a rare cause of gastrointestinal bleeding.
  • Diagnosis can be challenging due to intermittent bleeding and subtle endoscopic findings.

Observation:

  • Two cases of Dieulafoy's ulcer presented with delayed diagnosis.
  • The lesion was ultimately located through palpation during surgical exploration.

Findings:

  • Successful surgical treatment was achieved after lesion identification.
  • Palpation proved effective in locating the Dieulafoy's ulcer for surgical intervention.

Implications:

  • Highlights the importance of considering Dieulafoy's ulcer in obscure GI bleeding.
  • Emphasizes the role of surgical palpation in diagnosing difficult cases.
  • Suggests potential for improved diagnostic strategies for Dieulafoy's lesions.
