Summary A 53‐year‐old female developed multiple disseminated brownish macules that were confirmed histologically as superficial basal cell epitheliomas on her lower back. She also suffered from short bowel syndrome after repeated resection of a segment of the small intestine because of non‐specific ulcers of the small intestine, a rare decretive disorder of unknown aetiology. The association of these two rare conditions in the same patient is of interest because it may be more than a simple coincidence.
