Popis:	A 46-year-old man was admitted to the hospital by ambulance due to syncope. A standard blood screening showed a normal Hb value. The man had known hemorrhoids and a single fresh rectal bleeding earlier at home. On the following morning, the patient suddenly required resuscitation within a few minutes and subsequently died. Autopsy revealed a fatal hemorrhage with blood loss in the stomach and small and large intestines and a mucosal defect of the duodenum. After autopsy, the question arose whether the cause of death might have been a rare Dieulafoy’s lesion—aim of this case report was to clarify the diagnosis.
