| Abstract : | We report a 36-year-old lady who presented with hematemesis. Emergency endoscopy showed a polypoidal lesion in the gastric fundus that appeared like a varix. Celiac angiogram confirmed this to be a hemangioma located in the fundus. This was managed by arterial embolization; the patient is symptom-free 6 months later. , |
