[Eosinophilic gastritis. Clinico-pathologic considerations on a case and review of the literature]

The clinical, radiographic and histological features of a case of eosinophilic gastritis in a 26 year old-man without personal or familial signs of allergy are reported. The Authors pointed out the importance of radiographic and histological aspects of the case studied. Therefore they represent essential methods for a correct diagnosis and an appropriate management that in this case is only pharmacological. The diagnosis of eosinophilic gastritis is, however, important for the recognition of specific allergens.
