Abstract
A 10-year-old, neutered male domestic shorthair was diagnosed as having eosinophilic enteritis following two separate surgical biopsies. Although treatment was aggressive and a partial response was seen, the cat's condition deteriorated. Postmortem histopathology revealed an intestinal mast cell tumor.
