Abdominal Cocoon: A Rare Complication of Peritoneal Dialysis in Chronic Kidney Disease.

The abdominal cocoon is a rare clinical entity characterized by a thick fibrocollagenous membrane encasing the intestinal loops. Despite its rarity, the abdominal cocoon is one of the most serious complications of peritoneal dialysis. We report the case of a 45-year-old man, with end-stage renal disease on peritoneal dialysis resulting from systemic lupus erythematosus, who presented to the emergency department with progressive abdominal pain for the last two weeks.
