Abstract
Dear Editor,
Eosinophilic gastroenteritis (EGE) is a rare disease of an unknown aetiology, but with a heterogeneous manifestation and course, which affects patients at any age and in any part of the gastrointestinal tract (1). Diagnosis, occasionally in the context of emergency surgery, requires a high degree of suspicion, especially in the absence of peripheral eosinophilia. We report a case in which this entity is illustrated after indication of emergency laparotomy.
