ABSTRACT
A 42-year-old female who had her right index finger amputated 13 months back now presented to the department of gastroenterology with symptoms of abdominal pain and bleeding per rectum. On examination the patient had iron deficiency anemia and features of cachexia. Upper gastrointestinal [GI] endoscopy and colonoscopy were done but did not reveal any lesion. The patient underwent computed tomography [CT] scan on a Siemens 64-slice CT scanner, which showed multiple rounded, markedly enhancing, small gut [jejunal] lesions, along with an enteroenteric intussusception [Figures 1-3]. A similarly enhancing lesion was also found in the left gluteus medius muscle
