Abstract

A 75-year-old woman with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) was admitted to our hospital because of severe anemia. The patient had taken nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for 28 years for RA pain. Colonoscopic findings showed some diaphragm-like stenosis of the right hemicolon. The clinical course of the patient suggested that the ulcers were induced by NSAIDs. We performed right hemicolectomy and the patients QOL improved without recurrence.
