Abstract

Herein, we present an unusual case of the involvement of pancreas and duodenum in eosinophilic gastroenteritis (EoG), revealed in esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD). Owing to patients’ condition and findings from endoscopy, Whipple surgery was performed to remove the part of pancreas and duodenum. Long-term therapeutic efficacy was achieved through this intervention. © 2020 The Author(s)
