  • Title: The potential pitfall of attributing iron deficiency anaemia to ulceration in a Barrett's oesophagus.
    Author: Allison MC, Baxter JN, Russell RI.
    Journal: Scott Med J; 1991 Dec; 36(6):182-3. PubMed ID: 1805380.
    Abstract:
    We report a 58-year-old man with recurrent ulceration in a Barrett's oesophagus whose iron-deficiency anaemia was in fact due to a caecal carcinoma. Recent reports suggest an association between these two disorders. A Barrett's oesophagus should not be blamed for iron deficiency unless neoplasms of the colon have been excluded.
