Case description

Multiple biopsies were taken to ruled out malignancy. A gastric ulcer is a break in the normal tissue that lines the stomach. Ulcers develop when the normal defense and repair mechanisms of the lining of the stomach or duodenum are weakened, making the lining more likely to be damaged by stomach acid. By far, the two most common causes of peptic ulcer are infection of the stomach with Helicobacter pylori bacteria and use of certain drugs.
