Abstract
A 30-year-old man presented with iron deficiency anemia and occult blo od in his stools. Both upper and lower gastrointestinal tract endoscop y were initially unrevealing. This case illustrates the importance of small bowel follow through/enteroclysis supplemented by endoscopic exa mination and biopsy for adenocarcinoma of the proximal jejunum.
