Pseudomelanosis Duodeni Appearing after Oral Iron Therapy

We present a case of pseudomelanosis duodeni appearing after 2 years of oral iron therapy in an 85-year-old woman. Although oral iron supplementation seemed the strongest possible etiology, our patient had multiple comorbidities and was on other medications that have been described as associations. The majority of individuals taking oral iron or under these clinical conditions do not develop this entity; some other factors in patients may be responsible for its occurrence.Case Rep Gastroenterol 2021;15:689 –694
