Three patients presented with symptoms suggesting a Mallory-Weiss tear. Endoscopy showed a localized, clearly demarcated area of bright red mucosa near the gastro-oesophageal junction; this was thought to have arisen by retrograde intussusception of the stomach during vomiting or retching and may have caused the haemorrhage.

In two patients, frequent retching and vomiting preceded acute upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage. Congestion and edema were limited to the prolapsed portion of the stomach, the cardia, where discrete erosions and small shallow ulcers were seen. At endoscopy, prolapse of the gastric mucosa into the esophageal lumen was quite evident whenever the patients retched. The endoscopic features and pathogenesis of Mallory-Weiss syndrome were readily differentiated. It seemed probable that repeated retching causing intussusception of the cardia of the stomach can mechanically produce gastritis and should be a recognizable cause of acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding. I take this entity to be an independent superficial mucosal disease of the stomach.

An 88-year-old woman, with a history of resection of stage IIA lung cancer in 1998, was referred to our hospital in August 2010 complaining of upper abdominal pain, vomiting, and dark brown stools. After endoscopic examination, she was admitted with a diagnosis of Mallory-Weiss syndrome. Vomiting occurred when food intake was resumed after fasting. Intestinal obstruction was suspected on abdominal radiography, and complete small bowel obstruction was confirmed by contrast-enhanced imaging after placement of an ileus tube. A small intestinal tumor with intussusception was detected by computed tomography. At laparotomy, there was no ascites. Intussusception was found due to an ileal tumor located approximately 50 cm from the ileocecal valve, and we performed partial small bowel resection. The resected small intestine contained a submucosal tumor approximately 40 mm in diameter that had penetrated the bowel wall to reach the serosa. Pathological examination revealed a submucosal tumor that showed poor continuity with the surrounding mucosa, while the histology was squamous cell carcinoma. Immunohistochemistry showed that the tumor was CK7 positive, CK20 negative, TTF-1 negative, and CK10 positive. Based on these findings, we made a diagnosis of small intestinal metastasis at 12 years after radical resection of squamous cell carcinoma of the lung.
