  • Title: Eosinophilic gastroenteritis presenting as an obstructing cecal mass--a case report and review of the literature.
    Author: Shweiki E, West JC, Klena JW, Kelley SE, Colley AT, Bross RJ, Tyler WB.
    Journal: Am J Gastroenterol; 1999 Dec; 94(12):3644-5. PubMed ID: 10606337.
    Abstract:
    The causes of colonic obstruction are protean. Less common is the diagnosis of eosinophilic gastroenteritis (EGE). EGE is more common as a cause of more proximal bowel obstruction. To our knowledge, this case represents one of the only reported cases of such a lesion causing obstruction in the cecum.
