History A 55-year-old woman without systemic underlying disease, such as diabetes mellitus, inflammatory bowel disease, autoimmune disease, or chronic kidney disease, presented with generalized dull abdominal pain of 1-week duration. She had ingested herbal medicine for physical conditioning for several years. Laboratory findings, including biochemistry, electrolyte levels, and complete blood count, were all within normal limits, except for elevated serum C-reactive protein level (7.719 mg/dL; normal range, <1 mg/dL). The patient underwent initial evaluation with conventional abdominal radiography. She underwent subsequent evaluation with noncontrast CT of the abdomen and colonoscopy.
