Computed tomography and ultrasonographic findings of hepatic involvement related to eosinophilia mimicking liver metastases: Report of 2 cases

Hipereosinofilik sendrom kalp, deri,karaciğer, dalak, üriner, gastrointestinal, nörolojik, hematopoetik sistemler gibi birçok sistemi etkileyen ciddi bir hastalıktır. En önemli bulgular periferal eosinofilik lökositoz ve eosinofilik infiltrasyondur. Burada, biz iki hastada hipereosinofilik sendromunun karaciğer tutulumunun abdominal ultrasonografi ve bilgisayarlı tomografi bulgularını sunduk.

Karaciğer metastazına benzeyen eosinofili ile ilişkili karaciğer tutulumunun bilgisayarlı tomografi ve ultrasonografi bulguları

The hypereosinophilic syndrome is a severe disease affecting multiple organ systems as the heart, skin, liver, spleen, urinary, gastrointestinal, nervous, and hematopoietic systems. The most important findings are eosinophilic infiltration and peripheral eosinophilic leukocytosis. Here, we report liver involvement and abdominal computed tomography (CT) and ultrasonography (US) characteristics of the hypereosinophilic syndrome in two patients
