This case report highlights that spontaneous perforation with peritonitis could be a potential presenting sign of MEITL. The diagnosis of MEITL is mainly based on histopathologic examination, so an accurate diagnosis necessitates clinical knowledge and thorough biopsy with immunohistochemistry and molecular testing.
