Cryptogenic multifocal ulcerous stenosing enteritis: Radiologic features and clinical behavior

Figure 1 A 54-year-old man with abdominal pain and anemia. A: Small bowel series spot compression image demonstrates multiple short strictures along the ileum (arrows); B: On axial images of contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) enterography, short-segmental strictures (arrows) show moderate and layered bowel wall enhancement with mild dilatation of intervening segment between strictures; C: Gross specimen of resected small intestine shows multiple short segmental strictures (arrows) with mild dilatation of intervening bowel segment, which corresponds with CT images (arrows in B); D: On the low-power H&E staining of surgical specimen (boxed area in Figure 1C) there is a superficial ulcer (arrows) and submucosal fibrosis (arrow heads) without evidence of transmural inflammation or granulomatous lesion (magnification × 10).
