Core Tip	Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) is a commonly used medication for maintenance immunosuppression in small intestine transplant (SIT) recipients. Enterocolitis is a known side effect of MMF therapy, but there is little literature describing its histological manifestations in SIT recipients. Our case shows that MMF enterocolitis can mimic acute cellular rejection (ACR) and highlights the importance of attempting to biopsy the native gastrointestinal tract in SIT recipients if possible. If the native biopsy is abnormal, drug toxicity should be considered as a differential diagnosis as it may show overlapping features with ACR.
