Abstract

A 38-year-old man with AIDS and hepatitis C was admitted to our hospital in January 2005, with complaints of epigastric pain, odynophagia, and melena of 4 days' duration. The patient was not taking highly active antiretroviral therapy because of poor compliance and he denied use of NSAIDs. Physical examination, stool guaiac test, laboratory investigations, and esophagogastroduodenoscopy with biopsies of gastric ulcerations. Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the stomach (diffuse large B-cell type) with associated gastric ulceration and bleeding. Injection of epinephrine and bipolar coagulation for the bleeding malignant ulcer, and PPI therapy.
