The agreement between capsule endoscopy (CE) and device-assisted enteroscopy (DAE) in tumors of the small-bowel (SB) may be high. However, other SB lesions such as ulcers and angioectasias seem to have more agreement between both procedures, compared to tumors or polyps. In the article published by Alventosa-Mateu C et al., an interesting case was presented of a patient with iron deficiency anemia secondary to two carcinoid ileum tumors, identified by CE and later biopsied and tattooed by DAE.
