Two cases of water-melon stomach and a review of the literature.

We report two cases of "water-melon stomach", which is a peculiar form of gastric antral vascular ectasia, characterized by a specific and striking endoscopic aspect. It is observed in a context of chronic iron deficiency anemia and gastrointestinal blood loss, particularly in elderly female patients. The clinical endoscopic, histologic, pathogenic and therapeutic aspects are described, with review of the literature.
