Bloom syndrome patients often develop severe gastrointestinal symptoms mainly caused by gastric tumors due to DNA repair disorder. Here, we report 31‐year‐old Bloom syndrome patient suffering persistent abdominal pain due to refractory gastroduodenal ulcers which required gastroduodenectomy. Various causes should be considered, and the accumulation of their reports is warranted.
