Retrograde Enteroscopy with a Standard Colonoscope in a Patient of Obscure GI Bleed

A 62 year female presented with bleeding P/R for 3 months. EGD and colonoscopy done outside were normal. CECT showed a suspected thickening/lesion in the right lumber region. I did a colonoscopy and didn’t find any source of bleeding till caecal pole.I decided to intubate the ileum and to go as deep as possible with the same colonoscope as enteroscope was not available. I found a polypoidal tumor in the terminal ileum at about 60-70 cms from the I/C valve. I took biopsies and histopathology report came as adeno carcinoma. She underwent surgery and now patient is doing well.
