Nonmucosal predominantly serosal eosinophilic enteritis. A case report

T R Smith et al. Clin Imaging. 1990 Aug.

Abstract

A unique case of eosinophilic enteritis with predominant serosal involvement and mucosal sparing, ascites and abdominal adenopathy is reported with computed tomography (CT) and barium study correlation. The clinical presentation may mimic lymphoma or granulomatous disease, (e.g. tuberculosis) but peripheral eosinophilia is a strong differentiating point.
