Duodenal pyogenic granuloma: An unusual cause of chronic anemia.

We present the endoscopic finding of a juxtapapillary duodenal pyogenic granuloma in a patient under study for chronic recurrent anemia. The images show the presence of an enlarged papilla, with an exophytic growth of erythematous and friable tissue at its lower border. Although this is a very rare entity, it is necessary to take it into account in the differential diagnosis of refractory anemia because there is an effective endoscopic treatment for it.
