Abstract

Dieulafoy's lesion (DL) is a rare of cases of acute upper GIT bleeding. We investigate the immunohistochemical expression of several endothelial markers in a patient with Dieulafoy’s lesion of the stomach, by comparing the results with data on the expression of these markers in other types of gastric pathology. The histological examination of the patient with Dieulafoy’s lesion showed small erosive defect covered with fibrin, under which there were several highly deformed and dilated blood vessels with different diameters. We found that the expression of EC markers CD31, CD34, vWF and VEGF in gastric blood vessels of DL is heterogeneous and there is some differences compared with endothelial markers expression in other gastric pathology.
