ABSTRACT
Cameron ulcers are gastric ulcers or erosions located at mucosal folds in patients with large hiatal hernias. Mechanical trauma, gastric acid injury, or ischemia can cause their formation. Cameron ulcers are frequently seen as incidental findings during upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. About half of patients with these lesions are asymptomatic. However, Cameron ulcers are related to iron deficiency anemia and gastrointestinal bleeding in some cases. Here, we report a case of Cameron ulcers presenting with melena, which was successfully treated with proton pump inhibitors and iron supplementation.
