Pyogenic granuloma of the small bowel

Abstract

A 61-year-old man was referred to our hospital because of melena and progressive anemia requiring transfusion. He was on hemodialysis because of diabetic nephropathy. Although upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, colonoscopy, and a computed tomography (CT) scan were all normal, a subsequent capsule endoscopy revealed a tumor and blood in the middle part of the small intestine ([Video 1]).
