| Abstrakt: | Dieulafoy lesion is an aberrant submucosal vessel that can erode into the overlying tissue leading to hemorrhage. It is a rare but important cause of gastrointestinal bleeding. We present a case of a patient who developed an acquired Dieulafoy lesion 39 years after splenectomy. Abdominal computed tomography showed an aberrant vessel from a branch of the left phrenic artery, coursing through the gastric fundus to supply a splenule. Angiography with embolization of the aberrant vessel resulted in no further bleeding. (© 2023 The Author(s).
