title: Eosinophilic disorders of the gastrointestinal tract: imaging features.
abstract: Eosinophilic disorders of the gastrointestinal tract are increasingly rare but     remain an important cause of long-standing gastrointestinal symptoms. Diagnosis     is usually delayed because the disease mimics other inflammatory disorders and     is often not suspected initially. We report a series of four cases to highlight     the various imaging appearances of this condition. Two patients presented with     upper gastrointestinal involvement, one patient presented with small and large     bowel involvement, and one patient presented with diffuse involvement of the     entire gastrointestinal tract.
