A rare cause of jejunal perforation: Monomorphic epitheliotropic intestinal T‐cell lymphoma

Monomorphic epitheliotropic intestinal T‐cell lymphoma (MEITL) is a very rare intestinal T‐cell lymphoma which is observed most frequently in the jejunum. MEITL is prone to cause intestinal perforation and the prognosis is very poor when it occurs. Here we report a fatal case of MEITL causing jejuna...

description Monomorphic epitheliotropic intestinal T‐cell lymphoma (MEITL) is a very rare intestinal T‐cell lymphoma which is observed most frequently in the jejunum. MEITL is prone to cause intestinal perforation and the prognosis is very poor when it occurs. Here we report a fatal case of MEITL causing jejunal perforation at the time of diagnosis in a 79‐year‐old man. The patient underwent emergency surgery for jejunal perforation caused by MEITL but died 3 months after the initial visit due to prolonged peritonitis. It is desirable to establish a method to predict cases with intestinal perforation, and systematize the treatment strategies to avoid perforation.
