RESUMO
In the study of obscure gastrointestinal bleeding, which includes iron-deficiency anemia, the capsule endoscopy is a valuable diagnostic tool. In the different series the presence of tumors reaches 16% as the cause of it. We present the case of a rare tumor with metastatic extension in the small intestine in which the capsule endoscopy was key to the diagnosis and survival of the patient.
