Possible Causes for Gastric Lesion

Early-Stage Gastric Cancer

In conclusion, H. pylori infection and old age are independent risk factors for metachronous gastric lesions after ESD in EGC. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Gastric metastasis generally presents as a solitary and submucosal lesion with a central depression. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Systematic alphanumeric-coded endoscopy can increase gastric lesion detection. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Gastric Lymphoma

[…] define the gastric lesions clearly differed considerably at three simulation times. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

US findings paralleled endoscopy during follow-up under antiblastic treatment: both improvement and lack of change in the gastric lesions were reliably predicted by US. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Multiple molecular analyses showed the expansion of the same B-cell clone in synchronous and metachronous lymph node, parotid, and gastric lesions before and after H. pylori [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Gastric Ulcer

The lesion extended into the pancreas, where histological lesions and gastric lesions were also observed. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Pathology showed marked infiltration of IgG4-positive plasma cells in the gastric lesions, which led us to suspect IgG4-related sclerosing disease. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

A gastropericardial fistula, defined as penetration of a gastric lesion into the pericardium, is a rare occurrence. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Malignant Neoplasm of the Stomach

Gastric metastasis generally presents as a solitary and submucosal lesion with a central depression. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy showed a type-2 gastric lesion (45 mm × 40 mm) in the gastric antrum. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

As a result, gastric lesion was diagnosed as metastatic gastric cancer originating from breast. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Gastric Adenoma

A recent study in 73 FAP patients with gastric lesions in Japan showed that the lesions comprised fundic gland polyps, gastric adenomas and gastric cancers, in that order [austinpublishinggroup.com]

CONCLUSIONS: Magnifying endoscopy with narrow-band imaging is a powerful tool for diagnosing gastric borderline lesions. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

For Case 1, with early oesophageal cancer and gastric adenoma with SEA in the body of stomach, a laparotomy and local resection of the gastric lesion were carried out prior [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Endoscopy showed edematous and reddened gastric mucosa with a mass lesion in the gastric antrum. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Gastric Syphilis

Both the oral and the gastric lesion can be mistaken for malignant neoplasm. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

To establish the diagnosis, evidence of Treponema pallidum in the gastric lesion is necessary. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Gastric syphilis was then considered based on skin lesions and serological studies. Diagnostic antisyphilitic therapy improved the symptoms and gastric lesion promptly. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Gastric Leiomyosarcoma
