Abstract

Bloom syndrome patients often develop severe gastrointestinal symptoms mainly caused by gastric tumors due to DNA repair disorder. Here, we report 31-year-old Bloom syndrome patient suffering persistent abdominal pain due to refractory gastroduodenal ulcers which required gastroduodenectomy. Various causes should be considered, and the accumulation of their reports is warranted.

Keywords: Bloom syndrome; DNA repair disorder; gastroduodenal ulcer; gastroduodenostomy.
