Gastric antral vascular ectasia (GAVE) or watermelon stomach is an uncommon but important cause of gastrointestinal bleeding and anemia, first described in 1953 by Rider et al (1). GAVE is characterized by a “characteristic” endoscopic pattern, mainly represented by red spots either organized in stripes radially departing from pylorus (“watermelon stomach”, or arranged in a diffused-way or “honeycomb stomach”). In addition, there is a nodular variety, where there are multiple enlarged and nodular folds in the antrum (2, 3). Despite this GAVE is often misclassified or mis-diagnosed.
