Abstrakt: Approximately 10% of portal hypertension-related gastrointestinal hemorrhage occurs from lesions in the stomach. These lesions are mainly gastric varices and, less commonly, portal hypertensive gastropathy and gastric vascular ectasia. Bleeding from varices other than esophageal or gastric, termed ectopic varices, is infrequent and accounts for fewer than 5% of all portal hypertension-related bleeding. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
