Eosinophilic gastroenteritis presenting as an obstructing cecal mass--a case report and review of the literature.
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.
