Abstract

Drug-induced gastrointestinal tract lesions are becoming more frequent but are generally little known. Although a large number of drugs have gastrointestinal adverse effects, there are few characteristic patterns. Acute ischemic gastritis is an uncommon entity that is rarely distinguished from other forms of intestinal ischemia. We report the case of a 69-year-old woman who was diagnosed with an unusual gastric lesion in the context of an acute exacerbation of her anemia.
