Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Eosinophilic gastroenteritis is a rare gastrointestinal disorder.
  • It typically involves the stomach and small intestine, with rare esophageal involvement.

Observation:

  • A patient presented with simultaneous achalasia, pyloric stenosis, and ascites.
  • Macroscopic examination revealed involvement of the esophagus, stomach, and small intestine.
  • Microscopic analysis showed eosinophilic infiltration from the mucosa to the serosa.

Findings:

  • The patient experienced extensive gastrointestinal eosinophilic infiltration.
  • Simultaneous occurrence of achalasia, pyloric stenosis, and ascites was noted.

Implications:

  • This case demonstrates the potential for widespread gastrointestinal involvement in eosinophilic gastroenteritis.
