[Primary intestinal T lymphoma with massive eosinophilia].

Primary intestinal T lymphoma with eosinophilia is an infrequent tumour. Its rarity account for the paucity of similar cases recorded in the literature. It affects predominantly middle-aged men and may be associated with ulceration, fistula formation and intestinal perforation with an abdominal mass. Lesions of the intestine with massive tissue eosinophilia may be a difficult diagnostic problem, but this entity displays distinctive histological features. The presence of intense tissue eosinophilia is a T-cell dependent lymphomas response. We describe a case of T lymphoma involving small intestine with massive eosinophilia.

[Primary intestinal T lymphoma].

Primary gastrointestinal lymphoma comprises a group of distinctive clinicopathological entities. They may be of B or T-cell type. Intestinal T-cell lymphomas are much less common and include the entity: lymphomas T enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma, the most common, and T-cell lymphoma without features of enteropathy. The morphologic and immunologic findings suggest that derived from mucosal T lymphocytes population. Clinically, the patients were usually males with constitutional symptoms and acute perforation and/or obstruction of the small bowel. Their prognosis are very poor and tumor are very aggressive.

[Eosinophilic gastroenteritis].

Eosinophilic gastroenteritis is a rare clinicopathogenic entity of an unknown aetiology in which a variety of digestive symptoms are associated to the eosinophilic infiltration in the intestinal wall. The clinical features depend on the site of eosinophilic infiltration, and the association with peripheral eosinophilia is very frequent. The radiologic findings were not specific and the diagnostic is based on the endoscopic and/or peroral gastrointestinal biopsy. The response to steroid therapy is spectacular. The etiology is unknown but we review the recent literature.
