Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis (SEP) is an uncommon, potentially fatal condition.
  • Treatment is debated due to high surgical morbidity and mortality.

Observation:

  • A rare case of idiopathic SEP was diagnosed intraoperatively.
  • Surgery was mandated by sudden onset and lack of definitive diagnosis.

Findings:

  • A conservative surgical approach involving temporary ileostomy and partial peritoneal resection was employed.
  • The patient recovered well and remains alive.

Implications:

  • Management of SEP remains controversial, emphasizing conservative surgical strategies.
  • There is a need for established treatment guidelines for SEP.
