We report the case of a 58 year old man with occult obscure gastro-intestinal bleeding (OGIB) without other significant symptoms, in which systemic localisation of follicular B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma was discovered trough capsule endoscopy. This case reflects the clinical significance of performing capsule endoscopy in patients with OGIB. Keywords: case report, capsule endoscopy, occult gastrointestinal blood loss, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, device-assisted enteroscopy. |
