Abstract
Small bowel hemangiomas are benign congenital vascular lesions that can be asymptomatic or cause anemia, gastrointestinal bleeding, obstruction, or intestinal perforation. We report the case of a 75-year-old woman who, after years of study for iron-deficiency anemia, was diagnosed with a cavernous hemangioma of the jejunum by capsule endoscopy, which was confirmed after surgical resection.
