A case report of a 29 years old female patient is given, who died from gastric hemorrhage in the course of generalized Hodgkin's disease. Gastroscopy was performed as an emergency procedure and the following was found: diffuse infiltration of the ventricular wall, diffuse widespread mucosal bleeding, and a big, penetrating ulcer above the angulus with an elevated circumference. The prevalence of gastric involvement during Hodgkin's disease is discussed.
