[Eosinophilic enteritis as a rare cause of ascites].

Eosinophilic gastroenteritis is an infrequent entity characterized by tissular eosinophilia that can affect different layers of the intestinal wall. This entity can affect any area of the digestive apparatus from the esophagus to the rectum. Clinical manifestations depend on the affected layers and range from barely perceptible symptoms to intestinal obstruction or ascites. We present the case of an 18-year-old woman who showed abdominal ascites as a rare form of presentation with difficult differential diagnosis with peritoneal carcinomatosis.

[Rectosigmoid endometriosis with lymph node involvement].

Endometriosis mainly affects women of a fertile age and is usually located in the pelvis. Extrapelvic involvement is less frequent. We present the case of a female patient with endometriosis of the rectosigmoid and mesenteric lymph nodes, which is an extremely rare finding. Although the most widely accepted theory of the pathogenesis of this disease postulates retrograde menstruation through the Fallopian tubes with subsequent implantation in the peritoneum, these findings support lymphatic dissemination of endometrial cells as a theory of pathogenesis in cases of extrapelvic involvement.
