RESUMO
Hemangiomas are benign vascular gastrointestinal tumours. They are infrequent, located in the submucosa, and can be asymptomatic or cause intestinal obstruction, anaemia or ferropenia. Their initial diagnosis is usually endoscopic despite the absence of pathognomonic features. Traditionally their treatment has been surgical although endoscopic resection is now possible. We present a case of ferropenia resolved after endoscopic resection of a capillary duodenal hemangioma.

Los hemangiomas son tumores gastrointestinales de naturaleza vascular y benignos. Son infrecuentes, se localizan en la submucosa, y su presentación varía desde casos asintomáticos hasta casos con obstrucción intestinal, anemia o ferropenia. Su diagnóstico inicial suele ser endoscópico a pesar de no presentar características patognomónicas. Tradicionalmente su tratamiento ha sido quirúrgico, si bien en la actualidad es posible su resección endoscópica. Presentamos un caso de ferropenia resuelta tras resección endoscópica de un hemangioma capilar duodenal
