Ulcerative Esophagitis With Marked Eosinophilic Infiltration and Fluorodeoxyglucose–Positron Emission Tomography Positivity Requiring Differentiation From Esophagogastric Junction Carcinoma

DEN Open, Volume 7, Issue 1, April 2027.
ABSTRACT Esophagitis with marked eosinophilic infiltration, including eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), can rarely present with ulceration or stricture. We report a rare case of positron emission tomography–positive esophagitis with marked eosinophilic infiltration accompanied by ulceration and stricture, requiring differentiation from esophagogastric ...
