An Exceptionally Rare Cause of Upper Digestive Tract Hemorrhage: the Intragastric Rupture of a Splenic Artery Aneurysm Associated with a Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma

The most frequent causes of acute upper digestive tract hemorrhage are gastroduodenal ulcers, esophageal varices and gastric erosions. Esogastric cancers, angiodysplasias and Mallory-Weiss syndromes can also become complicated by significant digestive bleedings. Much rarer is the intragastric ruptur...
