Sumario:This case report documents the medical progression of a 56-year-old man who presented with a small bowel obstruction and was found to have acute fulminant necrotizing mesenteric lymphadenitis causing small intestinal ischemia. A large portion of the proximal jejunal mesentery was necrotic with vascular thrombosis leading to small bowel ischemia and obstruction. He was successfully managed surgically and survived. The evaluation and possible aetiologies are discussed.
