Having reviewed 47 cases of vascular malformations of the stomach and duodenum, we
propose an endoscopic classification for these lesions: Pattern I (flat or slightly
protruded, bright red lesions with frond-like margin) is the most usual form of presentation.
The “telangiectatic form” (pattern II) is an endoscopic variation, with the same clinical
and, possibly, pathogenic significance. Submucosal nodular forms (pattern III) are
the most difficult to diagnose and treat. Electrocoagulation is the most pertinent
treatment.
