[Eosinophilic gastroenteritis: two case reports].

Eosinophilic gastroenteritis is a rare lesion that may present a diagnostic problem to the surgeon. It may be confused with a malignant tumor because it often presents with intestinal obstruction. We treated two cases at the Hôpital de zone de Morges. In one case the lesion was in the gastric antrum and in the other the ascending colon. Only 27 cases of colonic eosinophilic gastritis are described in the medical literature.
