N2  - Small bowel endoscopy is indicated for patients with an unidentified bleeding site in esophago-gastro-duodenoscopy and ileo-colonoscopy and symptoms of intestinal blood loss or unexplained anemia. In approximately two-thirds of these cases, capsule endoscopy (CE) detects a lesion within the small bowel that explains the patient's symptoms. In few cases, though, lesions outside of the small bowel might be revealed by CE. Therefore, attention to all intestines that are visualized by CE might be necessary not to overlook bleeding sites that had not been discovered by prior flexible endoscopy.
The authors present the case of a 71-year-old male patient who presented to their outpatient clinic for unexplained anemia. Small bowel CE revealed minor bleeding from an adenocarcinoma in the cecum. This article is part of an expert video encyclopedia.
