Abdominal cocoon, also termed sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis, is an uncommon entity associated with formation of a fibro-collagenous membrane around intestinal loops resulting in intestinal obstruction. Most reported cases are idiopathic, but many other causes have been implicated in cocoon formation, including use of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis, peritoneal tuberculosis, and connective tissue disease. However, peritoneal carcinomatosis is a rarely reported entity that causes this condition. Reported here are two cases of abdominal cocoon secondary to peritoneal carcinomatosis. Both patients presented with intestinal obstruction; one underwent surgery but the other refused surgery.
腹茧症，也称为硬化性包裹性腹膜炎，是一种罕见的病症，与肠袢周围纤维胶原膜的形成有关，可导致肠梗阻。大多数报道的病例为特发性，但许多其他原因也与腹茧症的形成有关，包括持续性非卧床腹膜透析的使用、腹膜结核和结缔组织病。然而，腹膜癌病是导致这种情况的一种很少报道的病因。本文报告两例继发于腹膜癌病的腹茧症病例。两名患者均表现为肠梗阻；其中一名接受了手术，但另一名拒绝手术。
