ABSTRACT
Gastrointestinal bleeding from an unknown origin occurs in 2~10% of patients with a small bowel lesion. The recent developments in capsule endoscopy and double- balloon enteroscopy have helped improve the accuracy of a diagnosis of small bowel bleeding. Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors are most often observed in the lungs of young adults but have rarely been reported in conjunction with a small bowel bleeding episode. We report a case of a bleeding inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor in the jejunum that had been diagnosed as non specific jejunal bleeding by capsule endoscopy and confirmed by double- balloon enteroscopy.
