ABSTRACT
Eosinophilic gastroenteritis is a rare entity. We report a 41-year-old man who presented with features of gastric outlet obstruction due to a submucosal lesion in the distal end of the stomach. Distal gastrectomy with Billroth II reconstruction was done. Histology showed eosinophilic gastritis infiltrating the muscular and serosal layers of the pylorus and antrum.

Agarose Gel Serum Electrophoresis is a simple, rapid and sensitive technique routinely used for diagnosis of Multiple Myeloma. Its effectiveness as a screening tool for detecting infraclinical cases of Multiple Myeloma is brought out in this study. 29 out of the 219 patients presenting with unexplained osteoporosis and pain are found to be positive for M proteins. These patients were earlier adjudged organic disease free after preliminary investigation and examination.
