Popis: An 86-year-old man presented with anemia. He underwent abdominal contrast-enhanced computed tomography, gastroscopy, and colonoscopy without any bleeding detected. Small bowel capsule endoscopy (SBCE) revealed a reddish polypoid lesion with blood oozing into the jejunum. Antegrade double-balloon endoscopy (DBE) revealed a 5 mm sized protrusion into the jejunum. Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) was difficult; the lesion was snared and resected before energization. Clips prevented further bleeding and the lesion’s position was marked with a tattoo. Histopathological examination of the lesion led to a diagnosis of capillary hemangioma. After 11 months, the patient was again anemic. A reddish polypoid lesion oozing blood near the tattoo was found by SBCE. Another antegrade DBE showed a 7 mm sized protrusion near the tattoo. The lesion was successfully treated by EMR. Histopathological examination revealed the residual recurrence of a small intestinal capillary hemangioma. The patient recovered from anemia after the EMR. Two months later, SBCE showed no findings around the tattoo. Hemangiomas account for 7–10% of benign small intestinal tumors; most are cavernous hemangiomas, and capillary hemangiomas are rare. We report a rare case of a recurring small intestinal capillary hemangioma detected by SBCE and treated using DBE. We also review the literature.
