RESUMEN
A patient on treatment for multibacillary leprosy for the past three years, presented with episodes of abdominal pain. Since the patient improved with conservative management, clofazimine induced enteropathy was considered as a remote possibility. A review of the mucosal biopsies showed macrophages with crystal-storing spaces consistent with clofazimine deposition in the duodenum. This case highlights the need to consider and investigate drug-induced disease as part of the differential diagnosis.
