Abstrakt

Gastrointestinal hemorrhage is an emergency condition requiring immediate diagnostics. The case of a 21-month-old girl is presented with massive bleeding from the lower gastrointestinal tract in the course of lymphonodular hyperplasia. Lymphonodular hyperplasia, as a cause of bleeding from the gastrointestinal tract in children, is a rarely observed pathology of un known etiology.
