Iron supplementation is frequently used in the treatment of iron deficiency anemia in the pediatric population. We describe a case of an 11-year old male who developed adverse side effects following treatment with oral ferrous sulfate tablets for 2 months. The diagnosis was made following findings of iron deposition on histology obtained during endoscopy. The iron supplementation was changed from tablet to liquid form, and repeat endoscopy 4 months following initial diagnosis showed resolution of the histologic findings of iron pill-induced gastritis.

The iron-deficiency anemia is a common disorder worldwide. It is widely treated with oral iron supplements as ferrous sulfate compound in pill or tablet form, and continuous therapy can induce gastric diseases. The diagnosis of this unusual drug-induced disease is based on the endoscopic findings and the histopathological biopsy examination, because the clinical symptoms are vague and non-specific.
