Eosinophilic gastroenteritis (EGE) is characterized by dense infiltration of eosinophils in gastrointestinal tissues, resulting in morphological and functional abnormalities of the gastrointestinal tract. EGE susceptibility is most common among individuals aged 40-50 years old, and hence it is likely that affected patients will be encountered at the time of a medical checkup. In this report, we present two rare cases of EGE that presented interesting manifestations in findings obtained in a fluoroscopic examination performed at an annual medical checkup. Accumulation of case reports is important to provide information to pathologists to enable them to make correct early diagnosis and begin effective treatment at the earliest.
嗜酸性粒细胞性胃肠炎(EGE)的特征是胃肠道组织中嗜酸性粒细胞密集浸润,导致胃肠道形态和功能异常。EGE易感性在40至50岁的个体中最为常见,因此在体检时可能会遇到受影响的患者。在本报告中,我们展示了两例罕见的EGE病例,它们在年度体检时进行的荧光检查结果中呈现出有趣的表现。积累病例报告对于向病理学家提供信息非常重要,以便他们能够做出正确的早期诊断并尽早开始有效治疗。
