  • Title: Malignant tumor masquerading as eosinophilic gastroenteritis.
    Author: Reshef R, Manaster J, Ezekiel E, Suprun H, Manor E.
    Journal: Isr J Med Sci; 1987 Apr; 23(4):281-3. PubMed ID: 3623886.
    Abstract:
    A 49-year-old patient presented with urticaria, vomiting, diarrhea and peripheral eosinophilia. A histological diagnosis of eosinophilic gastroenteritis was made. Within 3 weeks of admission a highly papillary adenocarcinoma of the right ovary was diagnosed. The gastrointestinal symptoms and the eosinophilia disappeared after partial resection of the tumor and chemotherapy. A possible relationship between cancer, eosinophilia and eosinophilic gastroenteritis is discussed.
