Article Synopsis
- Pseudomelanosis duodeni (PD) is a rare but benign condition characterized by dark speckles in the proximal duodenum, often linked to chronic diseases and certain medications, notably oral iron supplements.
- A 56-year-old woman with iron-deficiency anemia and a history of peptic ulcers was diagnosed with PD after an endoscopy revealed suspicious findings, confirmed by pathology showing iron-containing macrophages.
- The case highlights the connection between oral iron therapy and PD development, suggesting further research is needed on long-term outcomes and management strategies for this condition.
