Abstract

A 71-year-old woman was hospitalized due to appetite loss and abdominal pain. Laboratory examination revealed anemia and fecal positive occult blood. Blood loss from angiodysplasia was diagnosed by endoscopically characteristic multiple gastric cherry-red spots.
These lesions were treated endoscopically by pure ethanol injections. Treatment was successful and anemia was improved. Further more, estriol therapy was added with 2mg per day. Patient recovered completely. Local injection of pure ethanol and systemic hormonal therapy is effective treatment for bleeding from gastric angiodysplasia.
