Abdominal tenderness and grade 2 ascites, serious peripheral eosinophilia and high immunoglobulin E level were found. Laparoscopic antrum biopsy showed subserosal eosinophilic infiltration. Eosinophilic gastroenteropathy was suspected, diet elimination was given, no steroid treatment was used. © Copyright 2020 by Ege University Faculty of Medicine, Department of Pediatrics and Ege Children's Foundation
