Dieulafoy’s lesion is a 1-3 mm vascular lesion in the submucosa and represents 1-2% of total GI bleeding; 80% are located in the stomach and 15% in the duodenum, while its finding in the rest of the GI tract is <5%. This work presents the case of a 79-year-old male patient who went into hypovolemic shock due to GI bleeding secondary to a rectal Dieulafoy’s lesion with endoscopic and subsequent surgical management.

Keywords : Dieulafoy’s lesion; hemoclip; lower gastrointestinal bleeding.
