Gastric erosions associated with gastric ulcer were examined endoscopically in 125 cases with gastric ulcer. According to Walk's criteria, the gastric erosions are classified into fwo types of varioliform and punctiform. Gastric erosions were found in 42.4% of gastric ulcer patients. As the gastric ulcer improved, the punctiform of the co-existent gastric erosion improved or disappeared. Varioliform erosion associated with gastric ulcer did not improve in spite of ulcer healing. Endoscopic follow-up examination after ulcer healing over 1 year revealed that recurrence of punctiform of gastric erosion without ulcer recuurence was not seen.
