Gastritis cystic polyposa/profunda (GCP) is defined as a hyperplastic polyp that contains foci of misplaced foveolar and/or glandular epithelium in the muscularis mucosae or in the deeper portions of the submucosa or the muscularis propria [1-6]. The lesion called polyposa when an intraluminal polyp is present [1,2] and profunda when the cystic lesion located within the submucosa [3] and the bu...

Calcifying fibrous tumor is a very rare benign mesenchymal tumor which shows a predilection for soft tissue, mesentery and peritoneum. Up to date only 7 cases have been reported in the literature confined to the gastric wall. We report a rare case of a calcifying fibrous tumor of the stomach in a 60-year-old man who presented with dyspepsia, flatulence and feeling weight. A clinical and laborat...

Objective: In order to study the gastroprotective effect of Aegle marmelos extract (AM), this study was undertaken on aspirin-induced ulcerogenesis in cannulated free-moving rats. Background: Most of the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) including aspirin (ASP) cause gastric ulcer. The efficacy of several plants for the treatment of gastroduodenal disease is confirmed by clinical r...

PURPOSE To seek a high sensitive and convenient method for early diagnosis of gastric cancer by testing MG7-Ag in serum of gastric cancer patients and some other control groups using a convenient ELISA method. EXPERIMENT DESIGN The expression of serum MG7-Ag was detected in 116 preoperative gastric cancer patients, 63 postoperative gastric cancer patients, 78 precancerous lesion patients, 50 ...

Gastric dysplasia is a well-known precancerous lesion. Though the diagnosis of gastric low grade dysplasia (LGD) is generally made from endoscopic forceps biopsy (EFB), the accuracy is doubtful after numerous EFB-proven gastric LGD were upgraded to gastric high grade dysplasia (HGD) or even carcinoma (CA) by further diagnostic test with the procedure of endoscopic resection (ER). We aimed to ev...

A 22 year old male presented with symptoms of gastric outlet obstruction. Endoscopy showed a hypertrophic nodular lesion around the pyloric opening with pyloric stenosis. The endoscopic biopsy and histopathological examination revealed tuberculosis involving the stomach, an extremely rare lesion.

BACKGROUND/AIMS Gastric dysplasia is generally accepted to be the precursor lesion of gastric carcinoma. Approximately 25% to 35% of histological diagnoses based on endoscopic forcep biopsies for gastric dysplastic lesions change following endoscopic resection (ER). The aim of this study was to determine the predictive endoscopic features of high-grade gastric dysplasia (HGD) or early gastric c...

Gastritis cystica polyposis (GCP) is a rare benign hyperplastic polypoid neoplasm that usually occurs on the gastric side of anastomoses in patients who have previously undergone gastroenterostomy surgery. Only few cases GCP been reported unoperated stomach. Here we present 73-year-old female investigation for altered bowel habits was found to polyp diagnosed as GCP. Both endoscopic and radiolo...

Gastric complications following unintentional foreign body ingestion are extremely rare. Here, we report the case of a 59-year-old healthy woman who presented with nonspecific abdominal pain and an apparent gastric submucosal tumor that was incidentally detected by gastrofiberscopy. The patient underwent laparoscopic surgery, which revealed an intact gastric wall with no tumor invasion, deformi...

A 62-year-old man was referred for further diagnostic work-up and treatment of a focal lesionwithin a large area of ectopic gastric mucosa (EGM) in the proximal esophagus. The lesion was diagnosed during an upper gastrointestinal endoscopy which had been performed because of suspected gastroesophageal reflux disease. We confirmed a semicircumferential area of ectopic gastric mucosa reaching fro...
