In 1884, Gallard ¹ described three cases of fatal gastric bleeding due to the rupture of a small artery within the stomach wall. He thought that the underlying lesion was a miliary aneurysm. Rare similar observations have been recorded in the ensuing years. Millard,² in 1955, reported a single case and, on reviewing the literature, collected an additional 16. Two years ago, we observed our first instance of this uncommon entity, and since then we have seen three others. These four cases presenting in so short a period of time prompted us to study them as a group.
