Methods A 29-year-old woman with no relevant past medical history was admitted with severe symptomatic anaemia (haemoglobin 2.9 g/dL) and no visible blood loss. During admission, she performed upper endoscopy and colonoscopy which were normal. Small bowel capsule endoscopy (SBCE) identified a friable and whitish sessile lesion and for that reason she underwent a push enteroscopy. The lesion was identified in the proximal jejunum with around 12mm. En-bloc endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) was performed.

Results A 72-year-old man underwent SBCE during admission due to iron deficiency anaemia (4.7 g/dL). SBCE identified an oozing bleeding from unknown origin. A double balloon enteroscopy identified a sessile lesion with around 9mm, in the proximal …
