Abstract

The esophagus is an important site of acute upper gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding that typically presents with hematemesis or melena. A careful history is essential in assembling an accurate differential diagnosis. An antecedent history of vomiting, immunosuppression, medication use, and instrumentation in addition to symptoms of heartburn, dysphagia, and odynophagia is helpful in establishing a diagnosis.
