A 21-year-old man with coeliac disease and dermatitis herpetiformis presented successively with erosive ileitis (warranting surgical resection) and erosive jejunitis (proven by jejunoscopy). Discontinuous antibiotic therapy was associated with a gluten-free diet and evolution was favorable as judged with five years follow-up. Malabsorption with mucosal ulcerations can be due to: a) chronic ulcerative duodeno-jejuno-ileitis or Jeffries' disease; b) coeliac disease which may be classified as possible, probable, or certain according to the strictness of criteria. Our case is the fourth in which a villous response was proven after gluten-free diet. It is also particular in that the erosions were superficial; c) malignant lymphoma which can reasonably be excluded here. This observation confirms that a gluten-free diet may be effective after surgical resection of the ulcerated segment in complicated coeliac disease and shows that antibiotics may be an useful adjuvant to therapy.

Introduction: Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) has been linked to pancreatic diseases, but evidence from population-based studies with liver histology is lacking.
Aims And Methods: In this population-based cohort including all Swedish adults (n = 8563) with biopsy-proven MASLD, we aimed to investigate incidences of pancreatic diseases compared with matched reference individuals from the general population (n = 38,858) and full siblings (n = 6696). Using Cox proportional hazard models, we calculated multivariable adjusted hazard ratios (aHRs) and confidence intervals (CIs).
