ABSTRACT
Obscure gastrointestinal bleeding accounts for nearly 5% of all gastrointestinal haemorrhage and is frequently due to a lesion in the small bowel. We report the case of a male patient with obscure overt gastrointestinal bleed in whom repeated upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, colonoscopy, computed tomography scanning and exploratory laparotomy showed no specific pathology. However, on capsule endoscopy done subsequently, a small polyp in the jejunum was located and resected. Histology revealed an aggressive angiomyxoma. This type of small bowel lesion has not been reported in the literature before.
