Fig. 1.

Abdominal computed tomography demonstrated multiple strictures with proximal bowel dilatation in the (A) ascending, (B) transverse, and (C, D) sigmoid colon (arrows).

Fig. 2.

Colonoscopy findings. (A, B) Mass-like lesion with surface reddish nodularity and luminal stenosis is noted at the sigmoid colon, 30 cm from the anal verge. The 9.2 mm scope could not pass through the stenotic lesion. (C) Multiple endoscopic biopsy was done at reddish nodular mucosa.

Fig. 3.

(A, B) Positron emission tomography-computed tomography findings. Several mild segmental hypermetabolic lesions are noted in the colon.

Fig. 4.

(A, B) Exploratory laparotomy shows multiple small whitish nodules disseminated on the whole small and large bowel combined with adhesion and stricture.
