title: [Primary ulcer of the small intestine. The value of peroperative endoscopy].
abstract: A case of primary non-specific small bowel ulceration in a 39-year-old man is reported. Because of massive bleeding, an exploratory laparotomy was performed and the jejunal ulcer was discovered by fiberoptic endoscopy through a small jejunal enterotomy. The authors review the literature about the incidence, the diagnostic approach, the pathology, the aetiopathogenesis and treatment of this rare disease.
