Esophageal Varices-II: Clinical Features and Management

Esophageal varices often manifest as gastrointestinal bleeding episodes, presenting symptoms like hematemesis (vomiting of blood), hematochezia (passing fresh blood via the rectum), and melena (black, tarry stools). Other signs can include weight loss, anorexia, abdominal discomfort, jaundice, pruritus, altered mental status, and muscle cramps.
In the initial assessment, a thorough review of the patient's medical history is vital to identify risk factors such as liver disease, alcohol abuse, or...

Esophageal Varices-I: Introduction

Esophageal varices are dilated, tortuous veins which are found mainly in the submucosa of the lower esophagus but which may also appear higher up or extend into the stomach. They develop due to increased pressure in the portal venous system, often as a result of liver cirrhosis. This condition scars and damages the liver, impeding normal blood flow through the portal vein. To compensate, blood seeks alternative pathways, forming fragile new vessels (varices) in the esophagus and stomach. These...

Summary

This study reports the first case of a bleeding small intestinal hemolymphangioma in a 57-year-old woman. Accurate preoperative diagnosis of this rare benign tumor remains challenging, often requiring surgical resection.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Small intestinal hemolymphangioma is an exceptionally rare benign tumor.
  • Previous reports are scarce, with only one documented case of pancreatic hemolymphangioma invading the duodenum before March 2011.
