Abstract EN
This paper describes the journey of a patient with coeliac disease who presented with overt obscure gastrointestinal bleeding.
Upper and lower gastrointestinal endoscopy did not reveal a source of bleeding, but an abdominal CT scan detected abnormal lymphadenopathy and a wireless capsule endoscopy diagnosed a jejunal tumour, which was surgically removed.
Gastrointestinal bleeding is rare in celiac disease.
Malignant tumours of the small intestine are generally uncommon, but celiac disease represents a significant risk factor.
Wireless capsule endoscopy has been a useful tool to investigate patients with obscure gastrointestinal bleeding.
