| Core Tip |
Eosinophilic gastroenteritis (EGE) is a rare but easily missed disorder. In our study, the biopsy slides from the patients who underwent gastroscopy or colonoscopy were reevaluated. We found that a diagnosis of EGE might have been missed in 4.40% (7/159) patients who underwent gastroscopy and in 4.27% (9/211) who underwent colonoscopy. Finally, a prospective study was performed and showed that in patients with refractory upper gastrointestinal symptoms, 5.74% (7/122) of patients represent a missed diagnosis of EGE. Therefore, physicians should increase their alertness and improve communication with pathologist to reduce the rate of missed diagnosis of EGE. |
