A BLEEDING GASTRIC ULCER




The images show a deep stomach ulcer that bled causing sudden and profuse hematemesis. Stomach and bowel were distended by bloody content. The cause of death was hypovolemic shock.

Dear Luciano,
I have some doubts: was the pacient a chronic alcoholist? Did you see ascitis or other signs of portal hypertension?

The basic cause of the ulcera was H. pylori infection?!


That is truely an amazing case. Good job!
Thanks!
