Description

Pyogenic granulomas, benign vascular lesions typically found in the skin and mucous membranes are rarely implicated in gastrointestinal pathology. This case presentation highlights an unusual yet critical manifestation of a large pyogenic granuloma in the small intestine, resulting in chronic anemia. We explore this rare condition’s clinical implications, emphasizing its diagnostic challenges and the potential for long-term misdiagnosis. Furthermore, we discuss effective treatment modalities and underscore the importance of heightened awareness among healthcare providers regarding this atypical presentation. This case serves as a reminder of the diverse clinical presentations of pyogenic granulomas and the necessity of thorough evaluation in patients with unexplained anemia.
