Complimentary Imaging Modalities for Investigating Obscure Gastrointestinal Bleeding: Capsule Endoscopy, Double-Balloon Enteroscopy, and Computed Tomographic Enterography

<div>Images in a patient presenting with melena and diagnosed with lymphangioma. (a) Image from capsule endoscopy demonstrated circumferential white granular protruding lesions in the small bowel. (b) The same lesion was found in flakes in the proximal ileum during double-balloon enteroscopy. (c) Biopsy (hematoxylin and eosin stain) taken at surgery showed markedly dilated lymphatic channels (arrows) involving part of the bowel wall.</div>
