Abstract

Gastrointestinal involvement of chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) is uncommon and acute GI bleeding as a result of CLL involvement is much rarer. We report a 77-year-old lady with known history of chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) presented to emergency department with haematemesis and melaena. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy showed large necrotic looking area in the stomach with bleeding from necrotic area. Biopsies showed lymphoid infiltration and immunohistochemistry showed CD20+, CD5+, Cyclin D1- and CD23- which were similar findings to CLL from bone marrow biopsy.
