This case report describes a 50-year-old female patient with liver cirrhosis presented with anemia. She was found to be suffering from gastric antral vascular ectasia (watermelon stomach) on upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. She underwent multiple sessions with Argon plasma coagulation, a non-contact thermal method of hemostasis for the management of watermelon stomach. After 3 sessions, the lesions disappeared and the hemoglobin increased by 2.4 gm/dl without any need of transfusion.
