Radiographics 2022 Jul-Aug;42(4):1081-1102. Epub 2022 Jun 24.

From the Department of Radiology (M.Y., A.D.T.A., Z.S.K., M.L.W., J.P.H., S.P.S., J.L.F., S.K.V.) and Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathology (M.S.T.), Mayo Clinic, 200 2nd St SW, Rochester, MN 55905; and Department of Diagnostic Imaging, National University Health System, Singapore (L.L.S.T.).

Eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders (EGIDs) are inflammatory conditions of the gastrointestinal tract that are characterized by tissue eosinophilia and end-organ dysfunction or damage. Primary EGIDs are associated with atopy and other allergic conditions, whereas secondary EGIDs are associated with underlying systemic diseases or hypereosinophilic syndrome. Within the spectrum of EGIDs, eosinophilic esophagitis is the most prevalent. Eosinophilic gastroenteritis and eosinophilic colitis are relatively uncommon. Eosinophilic infiltration of the liver, biliary tree, and/or pancreas also can occur and mimic other inflammatory and malignant conditions. Although endoscopic evaluation is the method of choice for eosinophilic esophagitis, radiologic evaluation of the esophagus plays an important role in the assessment of disease severity. CT and MR enterography are the modalities of choice for demonstrating specific forms of eosinophilic gastroenteritis. CT and MRI are important in the detection of abdominal visceral involvement in EGIDs. Diagnosis is often challenging and relies on symptoms, imaging findings, histologic confirmation of tissue eosinophilia, and correlation with peripheral eosinophilia. Imaging is crucial for identifying characteristic organ-specific findings, although imaging findings are not specific. When promptly treated, EGIDs usually have a benign clinical course. However, a delayed diagnosis and associated surgical interventions have been associated with morbidity. Therefore, a radiologist's knowledge of the imaging findings of EGIDs in the appropriate clinical settings may aid in early diagnosis and thereby improve patient care. An overview of the clinical features and imaging findings of EGIDs and the eosinophilic disorders of associated abdominal viscera is provided. RSNA, 2022.

Management of Esophageal Cancer Treatment in Resource-Limited Settings.

Authors:
Michael Mwachiro Russell White

Thorac Surg Clin 2022 Aug;32(3):397-404

Tenwek Hospital, Bomet, Kenya; Warren Alpert School of Medicine, Brown University, Providence, RI, USA.

Due to the luminal nature of the disease, esophageal cancer diagnosis and treatment is challenging. Majority of the patients usually present with dysphagia, at which point the disease is often locally advanced. Diagnosis and treatment need a multidisciplinary approach which often involves endoscopy, imaging services, oncology services, surgical services, and critical care services. Read More
