Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Chronic non-granulomatous ulcerative jejunoileitis is a rare disorder affecting the small intestine.
  • It typically presents with malabsorption and characteristic ulcerations.

Observation:

  • A case report of a woman with malabsorption syndrome is presented.
  • The patient required laparotomy due to worsening symptoms, stenosis, and ileal ulceration.

Findings:

  • Histological examination revealed villous atrophy and lymphoplasmocytic infiltration.
  • These findings are compatible with chronic non-granulomatous ulcerative jejunoileitis.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the diagnostic challenges and surgical management of this rare condition.
