ABSTRACT
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.
