Eosinophilic gastroenteritis, a rare condition, can mimic malignant tumors and cause intestinal obstruction. This summary covers two surgical cases, highlighting diagnostic challenges in identifying this uncommon gastrointestinal lesion.

Area of Science:

Gastroenterology
Surgical Pathology
Oncology

Background:

Eosinophilic gastroenteritis (EG) is a rare gastrointestinal disorder characterized by eosinophilic infiltration of the gastrointestinal wall.
EG can present with symptoms mimicking gastrointestinal malignancy, posing diagnostic challenges for surgeons.
Intestinal obstruction is a known complication of EG, necessitating prompt diagnosis and management.

Observation:

Two cases of eosinophilic gastroenteritis were treated at Hôpital de zone de Morges.
One case involved the gastric antrum, while the other affected the ascending colon.
The rarity of colonic EG is underscored, with only 27 cases previously reported in the literature.

Findings:

Eosinophilic gastroenteritis can present as intestinal obstruction, complicating surgical diagnosis.

The differential diagnosis for EG includes gastrointestinal malignancies, especially in cases of obstruction.

Surgical intervention may be required for diagnosis and management of symptomatic EG.

Implications:

Increased awareness of EG is crucial for surgeons to avoid misdiagnosis as malignancy.
Early recognition of EG can prevent complications associated with delayed treatment.
Further research into the pathogenesis and diagnostic modalities for EG is warranted.
