A 38-year-old woman presented with a 3-month history of abdominal pain, diarrhoea and 2 kg weight loss. Plain CT performed initially revealed minor ascites, without any evidence of bowel inflammation or tumours. Considering the patient’s symptoms and age, IBD was suspected and colonoscopy was performed, which revealed nodular irregularity and a severe stricture in the sigmoid colon that prevented the passage of the scope. Colonic biopsy of the stricture revealed a normal epithelium. Because of the failure to obtain a definitive diagnosis, the patient was referred to our university hospital.Laboratory tests revealed no anaemia or C reactive protein elevation, and tumour marker levels (carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and carbohydrate antigen (CA) 19–9) were within the normal ranges. Colonoscopy performed using an ultrathin colonoscope (GIF-XP290N) revealed multiple submucosal nodular lesions and multiple segmental strictures throughout the colon. The lesions were similar in appearance to the ‘cobblestone appearance’of Crohn’s disease but without ulceration (figure 1A). Fluoroscopy using gastrografin revealed multiple stenotic bowel segments (so-called ‘string sign’, figure 1B). No evidence of chronic inflammation,
