ABSTRACT
Irregular vascular dilatation in the antrum or the cardia of the stomach can be the cause of severe gastrointestinal bleeding. The first term for it - in the beginning of the 50's of the previous century - was GAVE (Gastric Antral Vascular Ectasia) since at that time no similar phenomenon had been registered before. A quarter of a century later, after publishing a few cases, a witty internist described it as "watermelon stomach" because the macroscopic picture is similarly looking as the aforesaid fruit's appearing. This rare condition occured in one of our patient with many comorbid diseases.
