Case description

Cronic Gastritis Furrow of erosioned mucosal changes. Gastric carcinoma of the intestinal type originates in dysplastic epithelium, which in turn develops in the milieu of atrophic gastritis and intestinal metaplasia. Cancers also may develop less often from gastric adenomatous polyps, which represent dysplastic epithelium arising in a raised lesion. The main causes of chronic atrophic gastritis and gastric atrophy are autoimmune due to pernicious anemia or chronic Helicobacter Pylori infection. In the former condition, there is severe atrophy of the corpus (oxyntic mucosa), with the antrum being speared. In contrast, chronic atrophic gastritis consequent to Helicobacter Pylori infection is a multifocal pangastritis, involving independent foci in the corpus and antrum of the stomach.
