Hemorrhage emanating from the structure (appears round and brown)shown here is most likely to result from which of the following underlying conditions:
1. Leiomyosarcoma
2. blunt force trauma
3. autoimmune vasculitis
4. Helicobacter pylori infection
5. hypercholesterolemia
Answer: #4: Helicobacter pylori infection, why? Hemorrhage from the stomach can result in hematemesis, or vomiting of blood. Gastritis and gastric ulceration are the most likely causes for gastric hemorrhage. H. pylori infection is an underlying factor in many of these cases.
