Eosinophilic granulomas of the gastrointestinal tract

Am Surg. 1977 Aug;43(8):512-6.

Abstract

Three patients with eosinophilic infiltration of the stomach and one with eosinophilic granulomatous polyp of the ileum are described. We believe that eosinophilic granulomatous lesions of the gastrointestinal tract comprise a distinct clinical and pathologic entity which should be considered in the differential diagnosis of obstructing or ulcerating lesions.
