[Gastric eosinophilic granuloma: a report of 23 cases]

Twenty-three cases of gastric eosinophilic granuloma were presented with three major complications including gastric ulcers in 22 cases (95.6%), gastric bleedings in 19 cases (82.6%), and fungus infections in 16 cases (69.6%). The relationship between gastric eosinophilic granuloma and fungus infection was discussed, and it was the authors' belief that fungus infection may play a role in the development of the ulcer and cause bleeding. The authors put forward several diagnostic main points and believe that surgery should be the first choice of therapy.
