We describe the case of an intraoperative diagnosis of SEP, presenting as a mimicker of small bowel obstruction. The patient was a 59-year-old male with suspected small bowel obstruction. On exploratory laparotomy, it was noted that there was thick fibrous tissue involving the visceral and parietal peritoneum enveloping grossly dilated loops of small bowel. This case reports on the histopathological features of peritoneal biopsies as well as radiological findings. There is no consensus regarding the standard management for idiopathic SEP. The present case demonstrates a significant improvement in the patient\u2019s condition with conservative management alone. A critical teaching point is that in the absence of an obvious cause, SEP is a rare but important differential diagnosis for surgeons to consider in the context of recurrent bowel obstruction.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jscr\/rjaa329","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,8,4]],"date-time":"2020-08-04T19:15:08Z","timestamp":1596568508000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["An intraoperative diagnosis of sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis: a case report"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"2020","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1756-5780","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jonathan","family":"Sivakumar","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinical Institute of General Surgery and Gastroenterology, Epworth Healthcare, Richmond, Victoria, Australia"},{"name":"Department of Surgery, The University of Melbourne, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gregor","family":"Brown","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinical Institute of General Surgery and Gastroenterology, Epworth Healthcare, Richmond, Victoria, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Laurence","family":"Galea","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anatomical Pathology, Melbourne Pathology, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Julian","family":"Choi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinical Institute of General Surgery and Gastroenterology, Epworth Healthcare, Richmond, Victoria, Australia"},{"name":"Department of Surgery, The University of Melbourne, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"2020091003535603100_ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1999","DOI":"10.3748\/wjg.v18.i17.1999","article-title":"Idiopathic sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis: abdominal cocoon","volume":"18","author":"Tannoury","year":"2012","journal-title":"World J Gastroenterol"},{"key":"2020091003535603100_ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e142","DOI":"10.18295\/squmj.2016.16.02.003","article-title":"Sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis: review","volume":"16","author":"Machado","year":"2016","journal-title":"Sultan Qaboos Univ Med J"},{"key":"2020091003535603100_ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"732","DOI":"10.1016\/j.crad.2007.01.022","article-title":"Computed tomography appearances of sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis","volume":"62","author":"George","year":"2007","journal-title":"Clin Radiol"},{"key":"2020091003535603100_ref4","first-page":"09","article-title":"Idiopathic sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis presenting as a right iliac fossa mass in a teenaged girl","volume":"09","author":"Abdullah","year":"2016","journal-title":"BMJ Case Rep"},{"key":"2020091003535603100_ref5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"675","DOI":"10.3748\/wjg.v21.i2.675","article-title":"Accurate definition and management of idiopathic sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis","volume":"21","author":"Akbulut","year":"2015","journal-title":"World J Gastroenterol"},{"key":"2020091003535603100_ref6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"639","DOI":"10.2214\/ajr.182.3.1820639","article-title":"Abdominal cocoon: preoperative diagnostic clues from radiologic imaging with pathologic correlation","volume":"182","author":"Hur","year":"2004","journal-title":"AJR Am J Roentgenol"},{"key":"2020091003535603100_ref7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"735","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijscr.2014.07.017","article-title":"Idiopathic sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis (abdominal cocoon) in adult male.
