title: [Eosinophilic infiltration of the gastrointestinal system: description of a clinical case simulating a lymphoproliferative process].
abstract: A case of diffuse eosinophilic infiltration of the gastroenteric tract which involved a large portion of the small intestine is discussed. It arose in a patient not previously affected with allergic traits and without eosinophilia in peripheral blood. Problems of differential diagnosis and clinical-therapeutic implications are reported.
