Abstract
We present a case of a young 16 year old patient that had an esophageal perforation in the context of eosinophilic esophagitis. The esophagus showed vertical lacerations and mucosal thickness on endoscopy, thus a biopsy was performed in the proximal section which resulted in profuse bleeding due to a deep mucosal tear. A subsequent computed tomography scan revealed a perforation. Due to the absence of symptoms the patient was managed conservatively. The patient was discharged within 48 hours after admission. The histopathology analysis showed a massive eosinophilic infiltration of the mucosa that verified the clinical suspicion.
