A 74-year-old female was admitted to our hospital with a complaint of abdominal pain and vomiting. Double contrast study on the small intestine revealed segmental concentric narrowing in the ileum. Bowel resection was performed because her symptoms continued and repeat double contrast study indicated severe stenosis.
Macroscopically, the resected specimen had segmental annular narrowing and marked thickening of the wall. Histologically, the resected specimen had UI-II ulcer, inflammatory cells infiltration and fibrosis mainly in the submucosa. Many hemosiderin-laden macrophages were found in all layers. These findings were compatible with those of ischemic enteritis.
