A case of vascular lesion of angiodysplastic type in the pyloric part of the stomach has been reported in a patient with chronic viral hepatitis. The diagnosis was made from clinical symptoms, endoscopic and histopathologic findings in the specimens obtained during gastroscopy. Many authors emphasize a correlation between the incidence of "gastric antral vascular ectasia" and liver diseases, especially cirrhosis with portal hypertension. A review of bibliography with particular consideration of its etiology has been presented.
