A rare case of gastric cardia intramural hematoma occurred in a young woman with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) taking warfarin. This highlights the need for thorough assessment of gastric cardia masses.
Area of Science:
- Gastroenterology
- Hematology
- Rheumatology
Background:
- Intramural hematomas are rare, particularly in the gastric cardia.
- Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and warfarin use are potential risk factors for bleeding complications.
Abstract:
A case of intramural hematoma of the gastric cardia occurring in a young woman with S.L.E. and on warfarin is presented and discussed. This unusual case illustrates the importance of careful evaluation of radiological mass lesions of the cardia.
