Popis: Non-specific multiple ulcers with perforation of the small intestine is a rare disease; there are only 8 cases in the Japanese literature. A case of this disease is discussed with reference to the literature.A 49-year-old man, who had been sick with pulmonary tuberculosis about 30 years ago, admitted to our hospital for close investigation of an abnormal shadow on plain chest X-ray film. He received an emergency operation for panperitonitis during this hospitalization.Operative findings revealed six indurations the size of a thumb head that were palpable sporadically about 50 cm oral from the end of the ileum, two of which were perforated. We could not diagnose Crohn's disease or intestinal tuberculosis, but performed an ileocecotectomy. Postoperatively, these lesions were diagnosed as non-specific multiple ulcers of the small intestine by close histopathological investigation.The specific findings for preoperative diagnosis of this disease are not known. The final diagnosis can be performed only by close histopathological investigation.
