This case report presents an uncommon manifestation of HHT in a 57\u2010year\u2010old Black Kenyan female with upper gastrointestinal bleeding. Given the rarity of HHT in our region, this case underscores the importance of early recognition, particularly in resource\u2010limited settings, to improve patient outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Case Presentation<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A 57\u2010year\u2010old Black Kenyan female presented with recurrent upper gastrointestinal bleeding. Endoscopy revealed multiple telangiectatic lesions in the stomach and duodenum, with an actively bleeding duodenal telangiectasia. Despite limited diagnostic resources, a thorough history and focused clinical examination led to the diagnosis of HHT. She was managed with blood transfusions, intravenous iron, tranexamic acid, and supportive therapy to control bleeding. Systemic therapy with low\u2010dose tacrolimus was later initiated for recurrent gastrointestinal bleeding. This case illustrates the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges faced in a low\u2010resource setting.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This is the first documented case of HHT with upper gastrointestinal bleeding reported in Western Kenya.
