摘　　要：This is a case of a 5-month-old infant who experienced repeated episodes of hematemesis and no known underlying health conditions. It was subsequently diagnosed as Dieulafoy’s lesion localized in the lesser curvature of the stomach. Endoscopic diagnosis and treatment were done by angiographic embolization. Dieulafoy’s lesion is considered rare even for adult cases, much more for pediatric patients and usually underdiagnosed. Hence, patients presenting with gastrointestinal bleeding should be managed in a multidisciplinary approach. Spreading awareness about this lesion by including it in the considerations, may help improve early detection and treatment.This is a case of a 5-month-old infant who experienced repeated episodes of hematemesis and no known underlying health conditions.
