“…18 A recent case study has also discovered the presence of ring chromosome 18 in a patient with SLE and CD, which may have a role in the concurrent development of the two diseases on genetic level. 23 Studies have also shown that patients with IBD tend to have higher prevalence of reactive ANA levels than healthy population, which supports the association between the two entities. 24 The prevalence of lupus enteritis ranges from 0.2-5.8% from studies, and 65% of lupus enteritis cases were discovered to be attributed to lupus nephritis.…”

Diagnosing Crohn’s disease in systemic lupus erythematosus patients with gastrointestinal symptoms poses a great challenge, due to its rare occurrence and similarity of clinical characteristics between its differential diagnosis. We herein present a rare case of a patient diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus, complicated by renal involvement and conspicuous gastrointestinal manifestations. The non-specific gastrointestinal findings in this patient led to challenge in differentiating lupus enteritis from Crohn's disease, as they share many similar aspects in clinical manifestations, endoscopic findings, and histopathological findings. We herein provide the clinical judgement in reaching Crohn's disease in concurrence with systemic lupus erythematosus as the final working diagnosis through scrutinizing and comparing data from similar case studies in the past.
