Students can quickly retain the key details regarding Dieulafoy’s Lesion, such as its distinguishing characteristics, diagnosis, and available treatments, by memorising this mnemonic. 

A persistent, large-caliber artery that runs directly beneath the gastrointestinal mucosa and has the potential to cause extensive bleeding through a focal mucosal erosion is the hallmark of the uncommon but potentially fatal illness known as Dieulafoy’s Lesion.

While it is not actively bleeding, it frequently affects the proximal stomach’s lower curvature and can be challenging to diagnose.
