摘要: Background and study aims Eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders are classified into eosinophilic esophagitis, gastritis, gastroenteritis, colitis according to the site of infiltration. Although well established in endoscopic findings gastritis gastroenteritis with regard gastric lesions have not been clearly described. The aim this was identify associated disorders. Patients methods Out 278 patients disorders, 18 had or confirmed by biopsy; their images were analyzed retrospectively. association between number eosinophils mucosa investigated. Results Erythema most frequently observed (72 %), followed ulcers (39 %), discoloration (33 %), erosions (28 %), nodularity polyps (28 %). There several unique such as submucosal tumor-like deep large three patients, antral Penthorum-like appearances (small nodules radially lined toward pyloric ring) “muskmelon-like appearances” (discolored mucosa-composed mesh pattern) multiple white granular elevations two cracks (appearance furrows similar those esophagitis) five rings one patient. No significant eosinophils. Conclusions Several gastroenteritis. Submucosal ulcers, appearances, muskmelon-like might be
