ABSTRACT
A ring-shaped ulcer was observed in the ileum of a 70-year-old male patient with capsule endoscopy of the small intestine performed for detailed investigation of black stools and iron deficiency anemia. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) use in patch form was considered as the etiology. The NSAIDs patches were discontinued, and protective therapy for small intestinal mucosa was initiated. The anemia improved;however, ileus originating from the site of the ulcer required surgical resection. The resected specimen showed no specific pathological findings. Based on the clinical findings, the patient was diagnosed with NSAIDs-induced small intestinal ulcer. The use of NSAIDs patches should be considered as a potential cause of injury to gastrointestinal mucosa.
