Gastric siderosis in the setting of oral iron intake- A Case report and literature review

Abstract

In this case report, we present a 70-year-old lady with a history of progressively worsening watery diarrhea, who was found to have gastric siderosis on upper endoscopy. We explore the clinical implications of gastric siderosis, its association with oral iron supplementation, and its diverse endoscopic and histological manifestations. Through a comprehensive review of the literature and discussion of relevant clinical findings, we aim to enhance our understanding of this intriguing entity and its diagnostic and therapeutic implications in clinical practice.
