Small bowel carcinoid usually presents with clinical symptoms and signs deriving from this endocrinological function and it rarely bleeds profusely. Below we present a case of a patient with intestinal bleeding. The bleeding tumor was finally diagnosed with the aid of wireless capsule endoscopy (CE) and histological examination showed a small bowel carcinoid.
