Gastric antral vascular ectasia (GAVE) syndrome is an uncommon cause of chronic gastrointestinal bleeding as well as iron deficiency anaemia. We present two cases of GAVE, one with pernicious anaemia associated and the other is portal hypertension related. In both cases, progressive mucosal changes, which results in formation of GAVE, were documented. The changes were progression of multiple antral erythematous spots into linear configuration and finally to watermelon stomach.
