In this article, we report a case study of a 54-year old man who presented with massive gastrointestinal bleeding. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy and colonoscopy had been performed in another hospital, but the location of the bleeding could not be identified, and the patient was transferred to our hospital. An initial abdominal computed tomography scan showed only a large blood clot in the small bowel and colon, with duodenojejunal diverticulosis. Emergent angiography was performed due to persistent active bleeding. Active bleeding from the jejunum was found, and the patient received a double balloon enteroscopy, which disclosed active bleeding in one of the jejunal diverticula. Two hemoclips were applied to treat the Dieulafoys lesion within the diverticulum. The patient had no bleeding during the month following treatment. Bleeding of the jejunal diverticulum is a rare clinical condition, and only a few cases have been reported in the literature with successful endoscopic treatment. A short review of the current methods of diagnosis and treatment of this rare disorder is provided.

This case report describes a 63-year-old man initially diagnosed as having a 2.5-cm gastric adenomatous polyp with low-grade dysplasia. In contrast to using conventional knives for endoscopic submucosal dissection, the standard diathermic snare tip was used as an alternative knife for endoscopic submucosal dissection of the lesion with successful en bloc resection. The procedure was performed without complications. The polyp was finally confirmed as a tubulovillous adenoma with focal high-grade dysplasia.
