Abdominal complication of clofazimine

Dear Dr Peton,
Thank you for circulating this photograph.  Had the patient been taking clofazimine – if so at what dose and for how long?
There are a few case reports in the literature of acute abdomen/abdominal pain associated with crystal formation due to clofazimine – I have attached reports from India, Thailand and Singapore – there are probably a few more.
