A 49-year-old female with epigastralgia and abdominal tumor is described. The endoscopic examination of upper gastrointestinal tract revealed co-presence of elevated lesions and flat mucosa on the greater curvature of the lower to upper gastric body. Biopsy specimens of the elevated lesions demonstrated hyperplasia of fundic glands, and specimens of flat mucosa showed severe atrophic gastritis. Discolored annular zone was seen in the lower portion of the gastric body with congo red test.
This case is apparently different from the known type A or B gastritis, and may represent an interesting case in considering gastritis progression.
