Abstract
Hypereosinophilic syndromes are a wide group of entities. We present a 24-year-old-male with left lower quadrant abdominal pain, elevated eosinophil counts and splenomegaly. Molecular analysis was positive for FIP1LI -PDGFRA gene compatible with chronic eosinophilic leukemia. He was managed with Imatinib producing resolution of the disease.
