Idiopathic chronic ulcerative enteritis with perforation and recurrent bleeding: A case report

Figure 1 Colonoscopy demonstrated multiple ulcers with a segmented pattern in the terminal ileum.

Figure 2 Radiography of the whole digestive tract showed that the terminal ileal mucosa was thickened and peristalsis was poor.

Figure 3 Abdominal computed tomography showed mild intestinal dilatation and wall thickening in the terminal ileum (marked with black arrow), and moderate ascites in the abdominal cavity. A: Horizontal slice; B: Coronal slice.

Figure 4 Multiple intestinal ulcers in the longitudinal section of the resected terminal ileum.

Figure 5 Histological examination. A: Glands of the small intestinal mucosa were necrotic and exfoliated, with intestinal villous atrophy and ulcer formation [hematoxylin and eosin (HE) stain, × 40]; B: Extensive small lymphocytes and plasma cell infiltration in the lamina propria, submucosa, and serosa of the terminal ileum (HE stain, × 100).
