We herein report a case of encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis (EPS) in a patient without chronic kidney disease after gastrectomy. A 69-year-old man underwent distal gastrectomy for early gastric cancer at 25 years old. After 43 years, he developed bowel obstruction and underwent enterolysis of the encapsulated small intestine. A pathological examination of the capsular membranes revealed inflammation, foam, and giant cells that destroyed foreign substances. The patient was discharged 1.5 months later. Foreign body reactions to surgical instruments used in gastrectomy are considered a cause of EPS. EPS due to foreign body reactions to surgical instruments should also be considered in such cases.
我们在此报告一例胃切除术后无慢性肾脏病患者发生的包裹性腹膜硬化(EPS)病例。一名69岁男性在25岁时因早期胃癌接受了远端胃切除术。43年后,他出现肠梗阻,并接受了包裹小肠的肠粘连松解术。包膜的病理检查显示有炎症、泡沫细胞和破坏异物的巨细胞。患者1.5个月后出院。对胃切除术中使用的手术器械的异物反应被认为是EPS的一个原因。在此类病例中也应考虑手术器械异物反应导致的EPS。
