A case of a teenage boy with eosinophilic gastroenteritis with esophageal involvement developing a hemorrhagic duodenal ulcer
Clinical journal of gastroenterology(2015)
摘要
A boy in his early teens visited our hospital with chief complaints of hematemesis and tarry stools. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy identified a hemorrhagic duodenal ulcer, for which hemostasis was performed using a clip. Proton pump inhibitor (PPI) administration diminished the ulcer but relapse occurred after PPI discontinuation. The esophagus showed concentric rings and longitudinal linear furrows considered to be characteristic of eosinophilic esophagitis. Biopsies of the duodenal ulcer and the esophagus revealed marked infiltration of eosinophils, leading to a diagnosis of eosinophilic gastroenteritis with esophageal involvement. Steroid treatment was initiated, and the duodenal ulcer and esophagitis resolved. Endoscopic findings characteristic of eosinophilic esophagitis were key to the diagnosis of eosinophilic gastroenteritis.
