title: [Eosinophilic granuloma of the stomach associated with polyarthritis].
abstract: Eosinophilic granulomas of the stomach, also known as inflammatory pseudotumours, are infrequently occurring lesions characterised histologically by local capillary and fibroblastic proliferation with infiltration of eosinophilic cells. This condition is benign and appears as a polypoid mass with or without ulceration. A case of association of a polyarthritis with a eosinophilic polypoid gastric granuloma is described. This was subsequently removed by endoscopic polypectomy.
