Article Synopsis
- Bullous pemphigoid is a rare autoimmune blistering skin disease that primarily affects older adults, with possible mucosal lesions in areas like the eyes and mouth in 10%-35% of cases.
- A 73-year-old woman with anemia from vitamin B12 deficiency was examined via esophagogastroduodenoscopy, revealing two blood-filled bullae and ulcerations in her upper esophagus.
- Although bullous pemphigoid is usually skin-related, esophageal involvement should be considered when patients exhibit related symptoms or unexplained anemia.
Background: Oesophago-gastroduodenoscopy is the standard method for the diagnosis of recurrent oesophago-gastric varices after endoscopic treatment and eradication. The aim of this study was to evaluate the PillCam Eso capsule endoscopy in this setting.
Methods: Prospective, multicentre study in which patients with history of oesophageal varices treated by band ligation underwent PillCam Eso capsule and oesophago-gastroduodenoscopy.

In this context, capsule endoscopy (CE) has proven effective especially in patients with obscure digestive bleeding. The aim of the present study was to calculate the frequency, and evaluate the diagnostic and therapeutic impact of CE in cases of small bowel tumors.
