Core Tip
Core tip: This article reports two rare cases of eosinophilic gastroenteritis (EG) and coexistent eosinophilic cystitis (EC) with findings from computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which have not previously been documented in detail. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on EG and coexistent EC with examinations by both CT and MRI, as well as the first one with diffusion-weighted imaging findings.
