Small loop bowel rupture due to feline gastrointestinal eosinophilicsclerosing fibroplasia

A 1-year-old male Persian presented intense prostration and sporadic emesis. Abdominal ultrasound examination revealed an intestinal mass, thick loops, and lymph node enlargement associated with abdominal free gas and fluid. In surgery, a thickened and ruptured duodenum was noted. Histopathological and immunohistochemistry examination revealed feline gastrointestinal eosinophilic sclerosing fibroplasia. This article is relevant because of the poor literature that has been published. Besides, this is the first case of spontaneous rupture of bowel loops due to necrosis secondary to feline gastrointestinal eosinophilic sclerosing fibroplasia without a foreign body in a young cat.
