Pyogenic Granuloma of the Jejunum: an Unusual Cause of Anemia

Abstract

Pyogenic granuloma is a benign vascular lesion, uncommon in the gastrointestinal tract, and extremely rare in the small bowel. The diagnosis can be challenging prior to surgery, because of its unusual endoscopic appearance.

We present a case of pyogenic granuloma of the jejunum diagnosed by capsule endoscopy and double-balloon enteroscopy and successfully managed by surgical resection.
