Abstract:
Cryptogenic multifocal ulcerative sclerosing enteritis (CMUSE) is a rare clinical entity characterized by chronic, relapsing episodes of ileus and obstruction resulting from superficial ulcerating lesions of the small intestine with a clinical course that responds favorably to corticosteroids. We report a case of CMUSE arising in a patient with a history of human immunodeficiency virus infection. This case highlights the unique pathology of CMUSE as well as the potential pathogenesis of this atypical clinical entity.
