Abstract

Sideropenic anemia (SA) is linked to a scant supply of iron in the diet, insufficient iron absorption, or blood loss.

Our report describes a case of SA in a child affected by a solitary gastric polyp. This lesion is very rare in childhood, and few cases have been reported in the literature.
