hematemesis

* Most common symptoms were dysphagia, chest pain, vomiting, abdominal pain, drooling of secretions, Hematemesis.

Majority of the patients presented with malena 17(56.7%) whereas hematemesis was present in 5(16.7%) children whereas rest of the patients 8(26.7%) had both malena and hematemesis.

A 63-year-old woman was hospitalized because of hematemesis for two weeks.

The presence of gastrointestinal symptoms in the young patients may mislead the physicians in the diagnostic process, as what happened in our patient case, who presented primarily with dysphagia, postprandial vomiting, and later with fatigue, loss of weight, and hematemesis. These initial symptoms in this group of age may not refer to gastric cancer, and hence, that may delay the diagnosis, where the invasion included the peritoneum, abdominal aorta, and regional lymph nodes, which prevented us from a curative resection, and eventually a poor prognosis.

A 22-year-old-male presented to the emergency department with a one day history of abdominal pain, syncope, and three episodes of hematemesis. The patient denied any previous history of abdominal pain, gastrointestinal bleeding, or altered bowel habits.
