Eosinophilic peritonitis with colon cancer : a case report
BACKGROUND: Eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders (EGIDs) are a rare group of inflammatory disorders that can occur anywhere along the gastrointestinal tract, from the esophagus to the rectum. In particular, those with malignant or benign tumors are extremely rare.
CASE PRESENTATION: A 62-year-old man was referred to our hospital with a chief complaint of abdominal fullness. The peripheral white blood cell count was 19,400/µL, and the eosinophil count was 13,300/µL. Abdominal computed tomography showed massive ascites. Cytology of the ascitic fluid showed a large amount of eosinophils and no malignancy. Upper and lower gastrointestinal endoscopies were performed on the suspicion of EGIDs, and colon cancer with no other abnormalities was found. The biopsies of the cancer lesions and non-cancer lesions also showed significant differences in eosinophil counts per high-power field (HPF) between the cancer and non-cancer lesions (median 77.5 [IQR 52-115] vs. 40.5 [35-56]/HPF, P < 0.05). Exploratory laparoscopy showed cloudy massive ascites and thickening of the mesentery. Pathological examination of the mesentery showed a large amount of eosinophils (median 177.5 [IQR 91-227]/HPF) and no malignancy. Based on these findings, it was suspected that the massive ascites due to eosinophilic peritonitis could be associated with colon cancer. Steroid administration resulted in immediate disappearance of the ascites, and laparoscopic left hemicolectomy was safely performed 6 weeks after steroid administration.
CONCLUSION: This report presented a case of eosinophilic peritonitis that could be related to colon cancer. Exploratory laparoscopy was useful to detect the cause of ascites. The possibility that eosinophilic peritonitis was associated with colon cancer is discussed based on the histopathological findings.
