Abstract
Gastric ulcers in general are depressed lesions. In rare cases, ulcer scars may become elevated. Recently, we encountered a patient with elevated gastric ulcer scars . The patient was a 27-year-old male. He complained of epigastric pain . Endoscopic examination (Aug., 20, 1982) showed kissing ulcers in the antrum . The second endoscopic examination was performed (Sept., 30, 1982) and revealed elevated lesions accompanied by fold convergency on the anterior and posterior wall of the antrum . Four months later, the elevated lesions disappeared and red scars were found on the anterior and posterior wall of the antrum. Histological findings of biopsy specimens from the elevated lesions were following Mucosal glands were hyperplastic. The interstitial tissue was edematous and infiltrated by inflammatory cells. No histological evidence of malignancy was obtained .
