[Small intestinal tumors as a cause of chronic iron deficiency anemia]
Abstract:
A brief update literature review on different methods of diagnosis of small intestinal tumors indicates angiography, videointestinoscopy and positron-emission tomography as most sensitive methods in diagnosis of intestinal tumors. A case of a small intestinal tumor is reported (a male of 46 years of age with chronic iron deficiency anemia) which was diagnosed with videointestinal camera and was confirmed histologically as adenocarcinoma). The patient was successfully operated and is now on chemotherapy.

Diagnostic studies
A colonoscopy is the definitive screening test, distinguishing ulcerative colitis from other colon diseases with similar symptoms. During a colonoscopy test, inflamed mucosa with exudate ulcerations can be observed, and biopsies are taken to determine the histologic characteristics of the colonic...
Histology of the Small Intestine
The intestinal lining features transverse folds called circular folds, each housing fingerlike projections known as intestinal villi. These villi are covered by a layer of simple columnar epithelium, also referred to as...
Inflammatory Bowel Disease I: Ulcerative Colitis
Inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD, encompasses a group of disorders characterized by chronic inflammation or ulceration of the gastrointestinal tract.
Risk Factors
The exact cause of IBD remains unclear, although it is believed to be due to a mix of genetic, environmental, microbial, and immune factors. Genetic factors are significant in determining susceptibility to IBD, with family history being a critical risk factor. Individuals with a first-degree relative who has IBD are at...
