Abstract
Lupus enteritis is a rare manifestation of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). It is a difficult diagnosis, especially in the absence of clinical symptoms related to active SLE. Here we report some cases of lupus enteritis diagnosed based on clinical presentations, imaging examinations, and autoimmune workups. All these patients respond well to systemic corticosteroids.
