Gastro-enterology Department, University Hospital Brussels, Belgium.

A 54-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital after two episodes of massive rectal bleeding. Her past medical history was significant for insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, hypertension, diverticular disease, rheumatic arthritis, hypothyroidism, and dyslipidemia. In addition to anti-hypertensive drugs and anti-diabetic drugs, she was taking anti-platelet and non-steroidal anti- inflammatory drugs. There was no previous history of gastrointestinal hemorrhage.
