While HenochSchönlein purpura is the most common acute systemic vasculitis in childhood, it is rare in adults. It affects small vessels and is the most common cause of palpable purpura. In adults, the gastrointestinal system and kidneys are the most common sites of involvement after the skin. Gastrointestinal bleeding is usually occult; massive gastrointestinal bleeding is rare. We report a case who admitted to our clinic with the complaint of abdominal pain who presented massive upper gastrointestinal bleeding and disrupted hemodynamics after hospitalization.
