We describe an uncommon case of severe anemia in an adult man. The patient was evaluated with esophagogastroduodenoscopy, colonoscopy, barium enema and abdominal US, which all proved normal. Abdominal CT showed a nonspecific intraluminal mass. Smallbowel follow-through revealed a polypoid mass with a club-like appearance typical for an invaginated Meckel's diverticulum. Our diagnosis was confirmed by surgery.

Abstract
We describe an uncommon case of severe anemia in an adult man. The patient was evaluated with esophagogastroduodenoscopy, colonoscopy, barium enema and abdominal US, which all proved normal. Abdominal CT showed a nonspecific intraluminal mass. Smallbowel follow-through revealed a polypoid mass with a club-like appearance typical for an invaginated Meckel's diverticulum. Our diagnosis was confirmed by surgery.File in questo prodotto:
