Acute abdomen in lepromatous (LL) leprosy. Request of information

FromE Peton, Capital Federal, Argentina

Dear Dr Noto,
I am a resident physician from an hospital in Argentina.  The last week a lepromatous patient was operated by an acute abdomen.  Nothing was found in the surgery, except a reddish discoloration of the colon (see attached picture).  I would like knowing if you have information about similar cases?
I hope in your answer. Thanks a lot in advance.
Best regards,
