ABSTRACT

Objectives To investigate the etiological factors of gastric eosinophilic granuloma(GEG).Methods Clinical manifestations,histopathological features, diagnosis and treatment were analysed retrospectively.Reformed Giemsa staining was employed to detect the helicobacter pylori in 23 patients.Results There was a significant sex difference in patients with GEG. And the misdiagnosis was quite high before resection. Lymphoid follicles were found in 68 8% of the lesion tissues and helicobacter infection was detected in 69 6% of the patients. Increased eosinophils in peripheral blood was observed in 11 patients.Conclusions Helicobacter infection, estrogen and allergic reaction may be related to the development of GEG.
