We suspected eosinophilic granuloma of the liver (EGL) due to visceral larva migrans (VLM). However, neither past history nor medical interview indicated a risk of parasitosis. Blood testing revealed eosinophilia, serum examination showed normal results for immunoglobulin E, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay yielded negative for Toxocara<\/jats:italic> and Anisakis<\/jats:italic>. Gastric and colonic endoscopy revealed normal features. Several imagings showed central necrosis of the tumor. After informed consent, laparoscopic resection was performed. Histopathological examination showed EGL without parasites. No recurrence had occurred postoperatively. Most reports documented that EGL are caused by VLM. However, parasites are not always demonstrable on serum, histopathological, or immunochemical examinations. When acting as allergens to induce type I responses, microscopic agents other than parasites in the intestinal tract could induce eosinophilic inflammation in the liver. Accumulation of more cases should help clarify other pathogeneses for EGL.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.9738\/intsurg-d-14-00126.1","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,9,28]],"date-time":"2015-09-28T22:59:28Z","timestamp":1443481168000},"page":"1011-1017","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Solitary Hepatic Eosinophilic Granuloma Accompanied by Eosinophilia Without Parasitosis: Report of a Case"],"prefix":"10.9738","volume":"100","author":[{"given":"Takatsugu","family":"Yamamoto","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Toru","family":"Miyazaki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yukiko","family":"Kurashima","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kazunori","family":"Ohata","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Masato","family":"Okawa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shogo","family":"Tanaka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Takahiro","family":"Uenishi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Katsuhiko","family":"Miyaji","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gastroenterology, Ishikiri Seiki Hospital, Osaka, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nobusuke","family":"Fukumoto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gastroenterology, Ishikiri Seiki Hospital, Osaka, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"4721","reference":[{"issue":"3","key":"i0020-8868-100-6-1011-b01","series-title":"Scand J Rheumatol","first-page":"171","article-title":"Eosinophilic granuloma and necrotizing vasculitis (Churg-Strauss syndrome?) involving a parotid gland, lymph nodes, liver and spleen","volume":"18","author":"Gambari\n PF,","year":"1989","unstructured":"Gambari\n PF, \n \n Ostuni\n PA, \n \n Lazzarin\n P, \n \n Fassina\n A, \n \n Todesco\n S.\n \n \n Eosinophilic granuloma and necrotizing vasculitis (Churg-Strauss syndrome?) involving a parotid gland, lymph nodes, liver and spleen.
