The esophagus showed vertical lacerations and mucosal thickness on endoscopy, thus a biopsy was performed in the proximal section which resulted in profuse bleeding due to a deep mucosal tear. A subsequent computed tomography scan revealed a perforation. Due to the absence of symptoms the patient was managed conservatively. The patient was discharged within 48 hours after admission. The histopathology analysis showed a massive eosinophilic infiltration of the mucosa that verified the clinical suspicion.enAdolescentBiopsyEosinophilic EsophagitisEsophagusGastrointestinal HemorrhageHumansMaleresearch article28593788open access10.17235/reed.2017.4560/2016https://doi.org/10.17235/reed.2017.4560/2016
