Abstract:
Objective To explore the clinical features and treatment of upper gastrointestinal bleeding with rare etiologies.Methods A total of 45 cases with rare etiologies was selected from a group of 1200 patients with upper gastrointestinal bleeding admitted from January 2012 to December 2015.Results The incidence of gastric stromal tumor (24.4%) and Dieulafoy's lesion (20.0%) was the highest.Among rare etiologies of upper gastrointestinal bleeding were Mallory-Weiss syndrome (17.8%) and stomal ulcer and hemorrhage of efferent loops after subtotal gastrectomy (17.8%),as well as left-side portal hypertension (6.7%),liver cirrhosis complicated with variceal bleeding in the descending part of the duodenum (2.1%),esophageal hematoma (2.1%),esophageal mucosa avulsion (2.1%),P-J syndrome (2.1%),duodenal adenocarcinoma (2.1%),and cutaneous malignant melanoma with duodenal metastasis (2.1%).Conclusions Gastroscopy in early stages played a role in etiologies identification,while etiological treatments could substantially reduce recurrent bleeding rate,thus enhanced cure rate.Analysis on rare etiologies promoted the medical understanding,with clinical diagnosis and treatment improved.
