“…Also, histologic changes were characterized by partial or complete loss of superficial epithelium, lymphocytes, plasma cells, granulocytes, and the presence of vasculitic lesions. [8][9][10][11][12] In these reports, no eosinophilic cells were seen in the histologic examination; however, in our case, we detected distinct eosinophilic infiltration on the bowel wall.…”

“…(NSAID) induced enteropathy may manifest acutely as well as after chronic use, being five patients described in one study after use of medication for less than 4 weeks [6,7]. Like-wise, the development of enteropathy does not seem to be related to the route of administration of NSAIDs, because, use of Osmosin, a now obsolete indomethacin rectal suppository, was also associated with ileal perforations [8].…”

International Journal of Case Reports and Images (IJCRI) is an international, peer reviewed, monthly, open access, online journal, publishing high-quality, articles in all areas of basic medical sciences and clinical specialties.Aim of IJCRI is to encourage the publication of new information by providing a platform for reporting of unique, unusual and rare cases which enhance understanding of disease process, its diagnosis, management and clinico-pathologic correlations. In this case report, we describe a rare case of pneumoperitoneum with peritonitis due to multiple ileal perforations with a history of high doses of diclofenac sodium usage. Case Report: A young adult male with recent history of high doses of Nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) presented in emergency department with acute onset pain in right iliac fossa with high grade fever and tachycardia for 12 hours. Abdomen was tender in the right iliac fossa with guarding. X-ray of chest showed free gas under the diaphragm. Exploratory laparotomy was done and showed multiple ileal perforations. Ressection and anastomosis of the affected segment was done, both ends brought as double barrel ileostomy which was reversed later on without any complication. Conclusion: High doses of Nonsteriodal anti-inflammatory drugs can cause multiple ileal erosions and perforation and should be considered in the the differential diagnosis, if other possibilities are excluded.

“…At the first emergency room visit, the patient's abdominal pain was associated with incomplete small bowel volvulus and the second time his symptoms were induced by complete small bowel volvulus, which made him return to the emergency room. Ischemic damage caused by repeated episodes of torsion by the mass was probably responsible for the stricture of the involved small bowel (7). …”

Small Bowel Volvulus Induced by Mesenteric Lymphangioma in an Adult: a Case Report

Mesenteric lymphangiomas are rare abdominal masses that are seldom associated with small bowel volvulus, and especially in adult patients. We report here on an unusual case of small bowel volvulus that was induced by a mesenteric lymphangioma in a 43-year-old man who suffered from repeated bouts of abdominal pain. At multidetector CT, we noticed whirling of the cystic mesenteric mass and the adjacent small bowel around the superior mesenteric artery. Small bowel volvulus induced by the rotation of the mesenteric lymphangioma was found on exploratory laparotomy. Lymphangioma should be considered as a rare cause of small bowel volvulus in adult patients.
