Abstract
In recent years, it has become recognized that patients with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) have an increased risk of multiple autoimmune diseases. Possible shared genetic aetiologies have been observed between EoE and autoimmune diseases. Currently, it is believed that EoE is not associated with a higher risk of neoplasms since such published cases are very rare and there are only isolated reports. Herein, we describe a unique case of EoE due to gluten without coeliac disease. The patient presented some unusual comorbidities, such as hypothyroidism (autoimmune disease) and essential thrombocythemia (neoplasm of haematologic origin).
