Abstract: The patient, a one-month-old male infant, was admitted for “recurrent diarrhea for 20⁺ days and vomiting for 4 days”. On the 8th day after birth, the patient began to develop recurrent refractory diarrhea, accompanied by abdominal distension, vomiting, dehydration, acidosis, and malnutrition. There were many cases of malignant tumors of the digestive system in the patient’s family. Genetic testing identified compound heterozygous mutations (c.491+1G>A; c.352_353ins CACC) in epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM) gene and the patient was hence diagnosed with congenital tufting enteropathy. The patient was given partial parenteral nutrition support. The patient’s diarrheal symptom was improved, but it was difficult to increase the amount of formula because any increase in the amount of formula for the patient would inevitably result in abdominal distention and vomiting. The patient experienced repeated fever in the later period of hospitalization and was eventually discharged from the hospital with the family’s signed consent. He still had diarrhea and vomiting after leaving the hospital. Four weeks after discharge, the patient lost about 1 kg of weight and eventually died.
