Refractory Malignant Eosinophilic Colitis Leading to Ischemic Colitis.

Eosinophilic colitis (EC) is the most uncommon disease within the spectrum of eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders. Currently, there are no well-established diagnostic criteria and no approved Food and Drug Administration therapies. We discuss a case of a 30-year-old man with refractory malignant EC leading to ischemic colitis. The patient was tried on multiple therapies, including a combination therapy of benralizumab and vedolizumab, which were unsuccessful. Unfortunately, the patient ultimately required a total proctocolectomy. More studies need to be performed to treat patients with severe refractory cases of EC.
