초록

Cameron 궤양은 틈새탈장이 있는 환자에서 탈장 내부의 위점막에 발생하는 미란이나 궤양으로 정의된다. 무증상인 경우가 많지만 일부의 환자에서 철 결핍성 빈혈, 급성 및 만성 위장관 출혈이 나타날 수 있어 임상적으로 중요하다. 저자들은 흑색변으로 내원한 환자에서 철 결핍성 빈혈을 동반한 Cameron 궤양을 진단하였고, 내과적 치료 후 병변의 호전을 확인하였기에 이를 보고하는 바이다.

Cameron ulcers are gastric ulcers or erosions located at mucosal folds in patients with large hiatal hernias. Mechanical trauma, gastric acid injury, or ischemia can cause their formation. Cameron ulcers are frequently seen as incidental findings during upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. About half of patients with these lesions are asymptomatic. However, Cameron ulcers are related to iron deficiency anemia and gastrointestinal bleeding in some cases. Here, we report a case of Cameron ulcers presenting with melena, which was successfully treated with proton pump inhibitors and iron supplementation.
