It depends on the involvement of GI layer. Eosinophilic ascites is a rare presentation of eosinophilic gastroenteritis and is often associated with the serosal form. Case presentation In this paper, we present a 26-year-old male with EGE who presented with massive hemorrhagic ascites and was successfully treated with steroids.

EGE should be considered in a patient with unexplained hemorrhagic ascites.
