WCN24-1190 Eosinophilic peritonitis in a patient in CAPD associated with neuroendocrine carcinoma of the cecal appendix, an incidental finding in an appendectomy. Case Report

Eosinophilic Peritonitis (EP) is a non-infectious complication associated with peritoneal dialysis (PD) treatment, which is defined by the presence of >100 eosinophils/mm3 or >10% eosinophils in the total leukocyte count of the PD effluent; in the presence of negative peritoneal fluid cultures and symptoms suggestive of peritonitis, which may or may not present with peripheral eosinophilia. It is probably induced by chemical stimuli that pass through the catheter and has an incidence that varies from 16 to 60%.
