Sammanfattning
Gastric antral vascular ectasia (GAVE), watermelon stomach, is a rare cause of upper gastrointestinal bleeding. We describe two male patients with GAVE in whom endoscopic argon beaming had no effect, but who were treated successfully with 1 mg of norethisterone and 30 mg of ethinyloestradiol daily.
