# Unusual Presentation of Acute Gastrointestinal Bleeding in Gastric Lipoma and Concomitant Helicobacter pylori Infection: A Case Report

## TL;DR

This case report shows how a Helicobacter pylori infection can cause bleeding in a benign stomach tumor called a gastric lipoma.

## Contribution

It emphasizes the importance of testing for and treating H. pylori in cases of bleeding gastric lipomas.

## Key findings

- H. pylori infection may lead to ulceration and bleeding in gastric lipomas.
- Combining invasive and non-invasive H. pylori testing is useful in diagnosing and managing bleeding gastric ulcers.
- Testing and eradicating H. pylori is critical in treating bleeding gastric lipomas.

## Abstract

Active
Helicobacter pylori
(
H. pylori
) infection may contribute to the ulceration and hemorrhage of otherwise benign gastric lipomas. This case highlights the utility of combining invasive and non‐invasive testing of
H. pylori
in bleeding gastric ulcers and emphasizes the critical role of
H. pylori
testing and eradication in bleeding gastric lipomas.
